Removing fake decal on original helmet

[Favos]

Hello,

I wonder how to remove a fake decal on a good helmet without damaging the paint... Here is a link to the thread in John Burnett Helmet Forum, where pictures are visibles : http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru....php?p=6797456

Thanks a lot!

You have to try the least destructive methods first. Try holding a sponge with very hot water right on the decal for at least a couple of minutes. If its an old water slide transfer it will loosen up and come off. If that doesn't work, let it dry completely and put packing tape over it, pull it off and see what happens. A couple places to start.

Hi,
I did have the same issue with a nice condition M35.
Water doesn't help me a lot, so I've just used diluent for nail polish (I've made a test before just to be sure there was no effect on the color.

And the result after:



Since then, the last traces disappeared.

Hope it helps
