Results are in and decals are off. The panel beater suggested if I tried to remove the decals I would remove so much paint i would end up pulling it to pieces for a bare metal resray (that otherguy) and that could take 5 years (glacier73) so I rang the 3M Tecnician (SLR_Dave) and they said to use their brand of rubber wheel (Buck). I did try the heat gun but it bubbled the doggie paint (gaddy). Many thanks to all, mission complete.
