I am looking to buy an airplane with decals all over it...you know, the checker boards and swooshes stuck on the paint in lieu of actually painting them on. I would like to remove much of it if I buy the airplane. The underlying paint is automotive, a pearlescent "Cadillac" color, possibly clear coated, I couldn't be sure. I am thinking that lacquer thinner probably would not hurt this paint and might remove the adhesive. Would want to first check on an out of the way place. Does anyone have any experience removing these types of adhesive decals? Would I be better off just leaving them alone? Once you start, you know, you have to keep going. Thanks, Steve
