Inner fender decal
How do I remove the overspray from this decal without damaging it? I am in the process of sanding and repainting these but I wanna keep the original decal if I can.

Try a little thinner on the end of a cue-tip, experiment in the areas without printing. If the printing comes off with it, then stop.

The decals are easily available, so protecting it is not that big of a problem, unless you are taking the truck to the Concourse at Pebble Beach where the judges use magnifying glasses on every detail.

Try a little hand cleaner. (not the gritty kind)
Odds are you'll take the print off before you can make it look real good.
