Does anyone know what plastic the fairings and panels are made from?

Hi there,
Im fixing my top fairing. I repared all the crack by solding them.. Very pleased by the result of that by the way. Now I want to get the stickers off so I can start the painting process. But these stickers are though! How did you guys manage to do this? I tried heating them but that didn't work for me.
Cheers,
Rogier

white spirit should remove the sticky stuff

if your misses has a hairdryer use that by far the best way
as the heat desplaces the glue making the process of removing the decals easier

just remember to keep moving the dryer

Hi chaps.
i'm currently restoring my 250 after it got stolen from me.
most of the fairing was smashed so i took the challenge to rescue it by using my industrial glue gun and fibre matting.
has anyone else done this?
