Hi guys

I own a Bayliner 2052 which has a 1" or so grey stripe decal running
all around the lower hull.

This has been damaged to one side on the front where it was originally
moored to a bouy which
in turn rubbed this decal.
Now,its really stuck well and i was wondering if anyone had
experienced removing and reinstating this stripe.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for reading

Get a rubber wheel attachment for a drill from an auto body store. It
will wheel the decal stripes off easily. Set the drill at the lowest
speed that removes the striping. Don't stay in one spot too long or you
can burn the gel coat.

Does this actually disintegrate (erase) the stripes, or peel them?
Seems a bit tricky to not harm the gel coat if the former.

My understanding is that it is essentially an eraser... sort of like
an old style ink eraser...... a very fine abraisive.

If they haven't been on there since forever, your best course of
action is to peel them using the least heat necessary....

Thankyou for that Gene,any advise is very welcome.
I have now just gone out and bought a cheap heat gun so hopefully over
the weekend i'll attempt this fix.
