Are you planning to refinish the exterior or do you just want the sticker gone ?

i plan on refinishing...im gonna have an artist friend of mine paint it for me...

CheffoJeffo:

Then I would use a heat gun and Super DeGooper to remove the side art prior to sanding the sides for paint, although the belt sander would likely take care of it too!

daywane:

I have tried 3 differant paint strippers.
1 thing,  the stuff is not cheap. It takes close to a Gallon each side.
the only problem with the belt sander with the sticker.
It will gum up a belt fast.
I think I used 6 belts up.
Belt sanders are not as bad on wood as people here think.


CheffoJeffo:

I typically only use a paint stripper if I am trying to save the underlying artwork (and then use something mild like Safest Stripper).

Otherwise I am a heat gun guy -- if you own the heat gun, it is cheaper (and, to my experience, faster) than any alternative.

The Super Degooper I use only for glue residue.
