I have a small sign shop in Winters, Texas and we use Rapid Remover all the time for removing graphics. I found that using the wheel to remove vinyl doesn't always work for large graphics. I have used it for small vinyl items like names or small logos. I'm a small shop but I do pinstriping by hand and large graphics for motorhomes and trailers that can't get the graphics from the manufacturers. We have a 30' Highland Ridge ultra light trailer that we use for our road trips and we are getting our house ready to sell so we can buy a class A motorhome to travel full time in. I have been looking at the Alfa brand and for ones in the 2001 to 2006 range.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

We love the Alfa. Lots of storage and comfortable. They are ahead of their time. If you get one make sure and join the Alfa groups on Facebook. There’s a lot of information that’s really helpful. Thanks for watching!

@dylandelarosa9856 6 месяцев назад

What shop?! I’m in Angelo and could use some of your services

@mrKeithGrayoldguy Год назад

Your rig looks some much nicer with no decals. That’s a great look.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Thanks, this video was the beginning of a total paint job for Rosie. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

@kdub1666 Год назад

Plain colors look better than the crazy color schemes they sell today. Would've thunk there would be some sun fade shading differences after removing the decals. Nice work. I bet that took some time and effort.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

I like the less busy paint designs better. Unfortunately there was some ghosting where the decals were. I’m in the process of repainting old Rosie. Make sure to check out our upcoming videos. Thanks for watching!

@dougd9944 Год назад

Wow! Boy do you have some patience. Great job!! I attempted to do the same thing on my boat years ago and ended up getting new vinyl stickers to go over the old..It turned out great.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Thanks, this was beginning of me repainting the entire RV. Stay tuned for more videos on the complete process.

@Locd4life707 Год назад

This is the best decal remover I've seen on YT! 👍

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Glad you like it!

@2wr778socal 5 месяцев назад

Pretty cool! We are looking to buy a used 5th wheel and I will remove the graphics as you did. Looks great! I used to work next door to Alpha when it was in Chino CA before they closed it down.

@RoamingWithRosie 5 месяцев назад

That’s cool you worked near that shop. Good luck with your decals. Thanks for watching!

@rushbuzzy 5 месяцев назад

My boat has the same issues with cracked and aged vinyl striping. I dread the work but am going with the heat gun method. Thanks for the video!

@RoamingWithRosie 5 месяцев назад

Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching!

@normanfew1116 2 месяца назад

Awesome info and will be using this technique on our Rv. Thank you!!!

@RoamingWithRosie 2 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! Have fun getting rid of the old worn out decals. It’s a little scary at first. You second guess yourself. Thanks for watching!

@SevenBears1 Год назад

I found some colors (burgundy-black)came right off while (silver) was a battle. Took 20+ plus hours to do one side of trailer. Putting on graphics of planes ,bears,fishermen and landscape. Thanks RWR

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Thanks for watching! This is the start of a complete repaint of Rosie.

@SevenBears1 Год назад

@@RoamingWithRosie I'll be here for those episodes too..

@lindabarcia9764 Год назад

Are you planning on adding any other Graphic stripes or decals back to Rosie? She looks nice all white but she also looks a little naked. I know that you can’t get the details from Alfa but I believe there are decals you can get from other manufacturer that would make her look really cool. Just wandering.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

A lot of the repainted Alfas are going with a solid color with only a few graphics. But, for Rosie, you'll have to watch and see though. This was step one. We'll reveal when it's done. 😉

@rachellehoogendoorn 7 месяцев назад

How long do you think it took to remove the vinyls and adhesive?

@RoamingWithRosie 6 месяцев назад

It took about 6 hours. That’s removing the decal and then cleaning off the left over adhesive. Thanks for watching!

@bennyshreds Месяц назад

Was one 32oz bottle enough for the whole rig? Thanks

@RoamingWithRosie Месяц назад

One was enough for all the decals we had. 😉

@danielestrada8835 Год назад

I like the music tho

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@mikeha9676 Месяц назад

Is the Rapid Remover Vinyl Letter Remover spray safe to use the painted metal siding that are many RV's? Thx

@RoamingWithRosie Месяц назад

I used it on my coach and had no issues. Thanks for watching!

@khalilshakeel2581 11 месяцев назад

Is there a video for putting on new stripes

@RoamingWithRosie 11 месяцев назад

No, there are videos repainting the RV. I am going to paint graphics on in the future. No more decals they just end up fading and cracking. Thanks for watching!

@luwonnaoakes6375 10 месяцев назад

Will this method work for corrugated metal siding?

@RoamingWithRosie 10 месяцев назад

It should, the idea is to heat up the decals to get them hot enough to come off. Thanks for watching!

@c.nacrelli7525 Месяц назад

Can you use a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun?

@RoamingWithRosie Месяц назад

I don’t see why not. It should work as long as it gets hot enough. I would try it before purchasing a heat gun. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@sqqqrly 3 месяца назад

I think you would have much better luck with a 3M brand 'stripe off wheel'. I love it. The adhesive comes off.

@RoamingWithRosie 3 месяца назад

If I have to remove any decals in the future I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

@clergywm Год назад

Great information, the music to fill the quiet space is annoying.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

Thanks, sorry you didn’t like the music. Thanks for watching!

@wadestanford1392 4 месяца назад

I have tried to remove the graphics on mine and have used the wheel as well as the heat gun and scraper, to no effect. I have tried recommended products to no avail. I'm thinking of just sanding them and the painting. I must admit I think I beat. Anyone with any new ideas would be appreciated.

@RoamingWithRosie 3 месяца назад

If you’re thinking of painting then sanding wood be the answer. I would be wary of using chemicals like Acetone or something like that. Hope you find something that will work. Thanks for watching!

@coryd6028 3 месяца назад

I haven't tried it yet myself but graphxoff graphic remover looks like it will remove the difficult to remove decals.

@uno3863 5 месяцев назад

I have the "protective" rear fender decals and are cracking and look horrible on my 2012 tacoma, I just bought a heat gun to remove other decals on my truck so I'll definitely use it for the rear fenders as well 👍🏽

@RoamingWithRosie 5 месяцев назад

Once I removed all the decals I decided to never put decals on again. Any graphics I put on will be painted. You can buff and polish paint. Thanks for watching!

@RViewofAmerica Год назад

Thanks for sharing, we have some cracking on some of our decals also, this video will help.

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

I have turned Rosie around to paint the front and other side. There’s plenty of room in front. Bring your rig by and we’ll take care of it.

@raymyers6522 Месяц назад

Only thing is that when u remove decals that's been on a long time, the paint don't match, how do u fix that

@RoamingWithRosie Месяц назад

I knew that before I decided to remove the decals. I already had in my mind that I was going to paint the rig. If buff and polish it will help but you’ll still see the difference. Thanks for watching!

@sixgunsue8 5 месяцев назад

awesome info, about how long did it take you to remove all the decals?

@RoamingWithRosie 5 месяцев назад

About 4 hours. Thanks for watching!

@tennimonacousticadventures9396 Год назад

How did you address sections where the gel coat is peeling?

@RoamingWithRosie Год назад

I didn’t have any areas where the Gel Coat was peeling. I did have some areas that needed repair. I repaired the damage with Bondo Glass and Bondo spot putty.

@barryholiday8998 Год назад

The only remover I haven't tried yet is the abrasive wheel. My vinyl decal is 5'x8' and has been baking in the western sun for at least 6 years. The heat gun has given a start, but it is so slow that I've given it up. The company that installed the decal said they use Rapid Remover to remove decals. I doubt that. It may be working on the adhesive, once the decal is lifted, but using it in hot sun this morning didn't seen to affect the decal at all. Guess I'll try a wheel and live with the several days-long process to remove the decal.

@RoamingWithRosie 3 месяца назад

Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time. Another person commented that the 3M wheel works better. You might want to give that a try. Thanks for watching!

@joannbeddoes7875 Месяц назад

We removed our decals with Rust-Oleum aircraft remover slathered it over the decal with a paintbrush weight 5 or 10 minutes and the decal practically dissolves.

@destravlr Месяц назад

@@joannbeddoes7875 I'm willing to try this. I bought the $35 3M rubber wheel, but I can tell it would take several to get my large decal off. Rapid Remover doesn't touch it. Doesn't even soften the decal.
