Removing Monocoat
Folks,
I just bought a used, but beautiful Shinden pattern airplane from a friend. I'd like to remove the pilot name, and AMA number from the painted surfaces. The name and numbers are cut from Monocoat, and placed on the painted surface from the factory that made the airplane. Can someone tell me how best to remove these Monocoat letters and numbers from my airplane safely?

If they are truly monokote and not vinyl they should just peal off pretty easily since they are on paint. If they are vinyl then applying a little heat from a heat gun or even a blow dryer should help but be careful with a heat gun and bubbling the paint. I find the citrus base goo-b-gone works good for removing any left over residue without damaging the surface.
