We're back in the garage and today I'll show you how to replace old damaged decals on your boat, including aged and cracked or split decals, old faded decals or even decals you simply want to change on your boat! We'll go step by step on using heat and various products to remove the old damaged decals from my boat's Mercury outboard motor cowling, including old stuck on glue residue, and then apply brand new vinyl decals using the wet method and talk about protecting your new decals once they're applied.
This technique will work on ANY vehicle that has decals not covered in a clear coat, including boats, trailers, RVs, jetskis and other PWC, cars and trucks
The new Mercury replacement vinyl decals were purchased from AMR Racing at amrracing.com - give them a shout for any decals you might need, they can customize just about anything and worked with me when the first set I ordered didn't fit quite right.

Hope you guys like today's boat upgrade! Don't forget to wait 24 - 48 hours after applying your decals before using your boat or applying any kind of protectants. Let me know if you have more decal applying tips :)

This is literally the worst way to apply graphics. And there’s zero reason to wait 24-48 hours to do anything. But at least you got them on there 👍

Finally got up enough courage to actually apply the new decals on my Mercury 150 XR6 and after much procrastination, I finally got it done and I can take great pride in doing this myself and it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be. The main thing for me was doing all the prep work and getting the surface prepared. Once that was done applying the decal was fairly easy. I decided to take the cowling off the motor and move it to a tabletop outside so I could move around the entire outside of the unit. Thanks again for you video on how to accomplish this. I thought I would need to have the cowl repainted, but after the prep work the luster came out so I didn't need to do this at all.

What works even better for removing the old glue is using contact cleaner. I tried it and it made the job so much easier.

Great job! I suggest trying pure limonene instead of Goo-Gone next time you need to remove an adhesive like this. The active ingredient of Goo-Gone is limonene, but it's diluted with petroleum oils, so it's messy and way less effective.

Was in the automotive business for many years, you might try some plastic razor blades for removing the decal glue once softened, we used wd-40, and the goo gone as well

Brake cleaner is the fastest solvent to remove the adhesive. Spray on and wipe off.
@DanRichardFishing
@DanRichardFishing 2 года назад
So here's the issue I have with brake cleaner... yes it works well and is generally safe on painted surfaces BUT it's a nightmare if you get it on powder coated parts. And the trim motor housing and cylinder as well as other parts directly below the outboard are powder coated as well as a lot of boat trailers. Also acetone is really strong and I would rather not use it unless I absolutely have no other choice and I am almost 100% certain that all brake cleaners contain acetone. It's just too strong for the job for me to recommend it and I don't want to suggest something that could ruin's someone painted surfaces and get yelled at lol

Hey Dan, great video! Wondering how hot your heat gun is?
@DanRichardFishing
@DanRichardFishing 2 года назад
I used it on the lower setting so if I were to pass it over my hand it doesn't really burn my hand but you definitely feel heat. On the high setting I couldn't really hold it near my hand without burning myself and it could probably start melting the motor cowling lol. Better to use less heat and just slowly work it.

You should have put the sides on first, then aligned the 50 sticker with them. Its too low.. LOL, OCD! Looks good almost!

Yeah not that big of a deal LOL I'm actually usually pretty nuts about getting stuff aligned and this doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Hi Paul, I just checked with the decal maker, but I believe all vinyl decals are applied wet.

If you scrape with fingernails, be sure to scrape only in areas the decal will cover up. Even fingernails will scratch the finish. I know from previous experience. 😒

Acetone works best
@DanRichardFishing
@DanRichardFishing 2 года назад
Not a fan of using Acetone on painted plastic, especially black. I'll always avoid it unless nothing else is working.
@KAONANAONA
@KAONANAONA 2 года назад
@@DanRichardFishing My engine cowl is gelcoat fiberglass. Acetone worked great without damage. I also use it with some rubbing compound and a cotton ball to remove painted on numbers and graphics.

Poor Dan... it does exist a decals disk removal. it's easier. it doesn't damage the paint. Body shop use it. you can find in your local autoparts. here an example : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JDgAGBt3QXo.html Yvan.
@DanRichardFishing
@DanRichardFishing 3 года назад
Okay I did some research on these discs. These are absolutely not for use on plastic, aluminum, or raw paint (no clear coat). It actually says it right on the manufacturer instructions for these products. So definitely do not use these on the cowl of your motor or on your aluminum boat. Also I just got off the phone with the owner of the number one vinyl wrap company in Montreal (MTL Wrap) and they use a heat gun and steam to remove decals, they would never touch a vehicle with one of these discs. BTW did you see the comments on that video link? Tons of people saying do not use that, use a heat gun lol! Ah the joys of making how to videos... lol!
