T-MAG-05-DAN Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi i have searched the forum on how to take the stickers of a zona zip but couldn't find anything of use, so i was woundering if any of you guys have taken the stickers of your zip before and how you did and wether or not it scratched all your frame up or not.i tried using glass paper on the front Z to take the laker and the sticker off, it worked but scratched the frame a bit.any help will be much appreciated.cheersDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python_man Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 lemon or vinager in meant to remove the stickers pick off the main part of the sticker and use lemon and a scratchy sponge to take the rest of the sticker off . havent tried it myself but ive heard it works :unsure::unsure::unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-MAG-05-DAN Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 ive tried that but there i lakor over the top of the stickers and i was hoping someone could tell me how to get that of as well, and personaly i use white spirit to get stickers off come off in seconds with a bit of elbow grease.cheersDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasthetrialsrider Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 get a hair dryer and heat up the sticker so it feels squidgy trust me my dad is a sign maker and has to do it all the time it has always works for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 The sticker is laquered over, so a simple "heating them up" won't do.Stick over them unless you want to strip your whole frame, which voids the warrenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrails Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) it should be fine to use nitromors to get the lacquer off, as the Zona's are anodised aren't they?also, you will void your warranty, but i'm sure i read something about it not being warrantied was because of branding.so in theory i'f you make some more stickers, the warranty should be fine. Nitromors is a paintstripper, it comes in a geen tin/tub, you can find it in most good hardware shops.an £8 tin will do about two frames completely, so you get loads.

Davetrails Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 yeah it will. as long as it's paint and not anodising, nitromors will get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
