Spid sticker removal qeustion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevLoRay · 04-07-2010, 01:05 PM

I'm thinking that a reproduction sticker (there's someone on the board who does them) would be the best route. If you are trying to save yours and also plan to install a new door, I'd think that keeping the old one would be okay.....kind of a before part of the after effect of the body/paint.

My plan is also to replace my SPID sticker when my truck is done, but I'm just going to keep the inside of the door like it is. Actually, it ain't bad, but it wouldn't make the cut for show-quality.

Why not take a digital picture of it before attempting to remove it? This way you can e-mail it to the reproduction guy. Just a thought. BTW the site is www.outintheshop.com. Cheers.

Ok, I will be saving the original spid. But I won't be reusing it. I just want to keep it and laminate it or something. I am using a different glove box door than original. I am going to have a new sticker made for me. But I would rather just put the new sticker on the new door without the old sticker on it. And I don't want to be saving the old sticker stuck to the old door. I would like to have the sticker in a scrapbook of pics of my restoration. And the glovebox door is kinda large for my scrapbook project. I hope you get where I'm going.

Just want to know how to get the sticker off without destroying it or the glove-box door.

Thanks so much for your input already!

I don't know of any way to remove them and save them. I know what you want to do, but not sure how you can do it.
Board member chipflyer can make you another that looks correct. The outintheshop link is his.

I have had pretty good luck removing them with a heat gun and razor blade. Start at a corner, heat it up with the gun and get under the label with the razor blade. Use a little heat and work slowly/carefully and you should be able to pull the label up in one piece.

Now that's the kind of stuff i wanted to hear! Thanks!

I should add that if it doesn't have the clear cover over the label it probably won't come up as good.
Good luck!
