Title: Those pesty decals Post by: genudoc on June 06, 2014, 10:23:24 am Just purchased this 81
Good original condition Any tips on how to remove decals without harming the paint ?

Or if you buff/polish that machine they might buff right off. Title: Re: Those pesty decals Post by: Eric on June 06, 2014, 10:41:38 am Though I gotta say I like the look though... I would leave them if it were mine but that's just me... kinda cool to see them
Nice machine. Title: Re: Those pesty decals Post by: MoonDawg on June 06, 2014, 11:24:10 am I agree with Eric, they show some of the sales history of that machine.
Title: Re: Those pesty decals Post by: cola62 on June 06, 2014, 11:42:19 am Not that you asked but I would remove the 7up and leave the other two. I had my 1990 Silverado painted a few months back. My painter had a round drill attachment that looked just like pencil eraser material. He removed the chevrolet decal on the tailgate and it didn't even scratch the paint. I was amazed how good it worked.
Title: Re: Those pesty decals Post by: SIGNGUY on June 06, 2014, 01:02:54 pm I agree.. I like them... it's an original machine, and this is just how they where used through the years... I'd leave it.
otherwise if you remove them, I can almost guarantee you'll have a different shade of red under them... and it will look worse with blotches of darker red.

Can't wait for the day I'm in one, turn an corner and there sits a Quikold cooler!

Looking through a throw away magazine and an ad for Jukebox classics in Hawley PA It was 5 minutes away Turns out it is John Johnston who used to have a cool shop in Brooklyn I think it was divine intervention so how can I turn that down Title: Re: Those pesty decals Post by: ld26 on June 07, 2014, 07:02:13 am Nice, sounds like you were meant to have that machine
