    So I bought a pickup a couple months ago from this old guy. Apparently he liked to travel cause he had a whole bunch of stickers and crap on the truck.

    Now, at work we have a fleet of pickups that we put new decals on the doors with, but us being lazy we used a "Decal Eraser" on a cordless drill and it took them right off.

    My question is do these mess up the paint? Cause removing all these damn things on my pickup would take forever with a hair dryer and peeling. but I dont want to screw up my paint.

    Do it the way you know.. That's how I think.. I mean if it's only a one time thing.. it's not that big of a deal.. Just take your time and do everything right.. By the way I have no idea what Decal Eraser is lol

    IDK if that's the the technical name for it. What it is is a round wheel that you tighten into a drill, than you spin it across the decal and it shreds if off.

    What I am worried about is that we are using it on company vehicles, and nothing against our co-op but we had one pickup that we were driving and every time we let off the gas we lost oil pressure. So we ran it up on the hoist, only a quart at most of oil left. SO what I'm afraid of is that its that F it its a company vehicle, lets just get it done.

    Eraser wheels are great, it takes quite a bit of time to bugger up the paint at all. You almost have to be trying to mess something up...
