Below are commonly asked questions. All answers provided are merely recommendations. Please do further research and test yourself. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Please advise if you have a product to remove product names/logos on powder coated bike frame. Very stubborn! There seems no edge to these logos, maybe they could be lacquered after they were applied?? I have tried straight Acetone which does not soften the surface. Trust that you may have come across this problem before. - Terry
It sounds like the top lacquer coat is applied after the stickers have been applied.
Without seeing the job, I would recommend if you have tried acetone to try MEK, or Methylene chloride. You could also use paint stripper gently as it should not go through the sticker material. You would need to trial this though.
