to get the blue off the front one i held it in boiling water with pliers for a few minutes but the rear i let sit on a portable electric radiator type heater i had in my garage but i had to stop pealing halfway through and re heat. The water definatley worked best but i would bet it can be done with a heat gun while on the truck still but with all the tapeing i would need to do it wasnt worth leaving them on.

for paint i used satin black krylon fusion, just lightly scuffed and washed before i painted

And of course im not 100% sure it will work on the newer ones but i cant imagine them being different

i just got an email from dscustomdesigns@gmail.com yesterday. They are having issues with the 10' (i'm assuming 09" and up) because of the curvature of the oval. They are working on it and hope to have them for the newer ovals soon.

i have been talking with DS about sending them a side badge to get the inlays back like these.



think there is interest on here and other forums so might make a new thread to show them itll be worth it.

I would love to see step by step with pictures how to change the decals. I know there have been a TON of threads around here on the decal subject, but a step by step would be awesome.
