Decals - Laquered Or Not?

Discussion in 'Detailing and cleaning' started by RoadRunner, Jan 23, 2020.

  1. I've an 848 (2008) - are the decals (on the lower fairing) usually lacquered over or not? One of mine seems to be coated and one not?? Just curious....

    Thanks in anticipation...
     
  2. 848 no, 1*98’s are.
    Same on 899/1199, 959,1299.

  4. Is there a recommend method of removing existing decals and anything to be done before replacing them - i.e. clean with spirits or the like?
     
  5. removal
    If not laquered in so just resting ontop of the paint/laquer, I've tended to use a hairdyer on mid heat for a few moments to supple them up and generally they will come off okay and then use something like baby wet wipes or wd40 on some rag, will remove any goop residue
