graphics removal? - Kawasaki KFX450 Forum

kfx 450r rider · 10-08-2007, 09:50 PM

Does anyone know how to take off the graphics and get that stickey stuff off without damaging the plastics. I know lighter fuid worked but it took the shine right out of the plastics on my xr 250.

i used a heat gun on low. Just warm up the sticker (but not too much or you cant pull on it) and they cam right off. Only took me about 10 minutes for the entire bike.

How does the black look after awhile? Does it show scratches very bad, and where your knees rub the side by the gas tank what does that look like?

yes it shows scratches BAD!!! what I did was take off all of the stock graphics. under all of the graphics were nice shiny black plastic that did not match the rest of my scratched plastic. so i took al slightly used green pad and went over the entire quad and scuffed all the plastic to match. kind of looks cool being flat black
