Guys,
I screwed up the main decals on the side of my Mitchell............they are really off................how do you remove them?????????/
Please someone help..........
I used Tamiya paints under them, with a coat of future prior to application. I have a spare set I can use.
Other then repainting over top...............any other tips?
Thanks in advance for any help.

i would apply micro-sol and try to rub them off with my finger tips. You could also get some real fine sand paper and gently rub them . I think the future will protect your paint job underneath

As long as you haven't sealed them with anything, they should come off by rewetting them. You may need to soak them with warm water or place a warm, wet cloth to loosen them up. If they are already sealed, repainting is the only answer.
Good luck.
Good luck.

You can also use scotch tape and pull as much off as possible, and then go with water to get the rest.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.
I tried reapplying solvaset, and pulling with scoth tape, some of it came off, but the rest is being very stuborn. I will try appying more, then pulling. The paint is already coming up in a couple of places, but I think its recoverable. Can I paint over future? I am thinking of just masking off that particular section and redoing it.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the advice guys. I appreciate the feedback.
I feel really dumb for not installing the decals right in the first place, but what's done is done. Hopefully it will work out.
