Removing "stickers" on Rattler
Anyone remove the "stickers" on the Rattler?
I love the looks of the scooter.... but I am 40 & maybe thats why they are just a little cartoonish for me (and BIG)
I have taken stickers off of cars by heating them up with a hair dryer & peeling.... but these are think... almost like rigid plastic stuck on.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice.

I took them off and I'm glad I did! Yes the scoot looks a little like a no-namer, but like you said they're pretty cartoony looking. I just prefer to think it looks "cleaner."
They're stuck on pretty good, and take some pulling and prying. Keep in mind once you take them off it's a done deal since they bend and warp as you pull them off. I had to get under them with a dull butter knife to get the edges unstuck enough so they could be pulled off with some force.
Sounds sketchy, but no damage was done.

Some fishing line wrapped around gloved hands typically gets them off quite nicely. Just slip the taught line in behind the emblem and kind of gently saw it off (sounds worse than it is, but safer than a knife) and alsoafriendofcheese wrote:I took them off and I'm glad I did!

heating them with a blow dryer beforehand simplifies too.

test first
Test the Goo Gone somewhere inconspicuous first....it can have a tendency to "not play well" with certain plastics.....1cyl wrote:Heat 'em up with a hair dryer 1st. Then, they'll pull-off clean w/o residue. If you have any residue left... use "Goo-Gone".

Just took off my Rattler stickers - no problem at all. I heated them up with a hair dryer (dont know if it helped or not) & just peeled them back. The "glue" is like "sticky tack" & came off almost clean - a little finger nail scraping & a shot of windex & you would never know they were there.
didnt even need the goo gone

oh yeah... I said I would post pics without the rattler logos
I started a new thread & the pics are there
topic3715.html
I just figured it should be a new thread because I also put new decals on & I was hoping others would mention what they had put on theirs
