Ryan,

If they are Slixx decals , you might stand a chance . Take a piece of wet T shirt and lay it on the decal , it might loosen up . I do believe , however , that you are up the proverbial creek ! To remove the decals , take a piece of scotch tape stick it to the decal and it will pull it off . It might take a few trys but the decal will come off without damaging your finish.

Another great answer to a great question! I am glad that I look down the older threads I might have missed. I always glean great information like this!! I have never sucessfully removed dried decals, but I'm gonna remember the scotch tape method!

Haven't tried it myself but I've heard that those small hand held steamers will soften the decal adhesive enough to ease removal in some cases. This is assuming they haven't been clear-coated.

You definitely can get the decal off and re-use it! It takes patience. Just soak the body in water for however long it takes. Years ago I did just that with an MPC 1/20 Turbine car that I found at a swap meet. It took six weeks but those decals that had been on it for almost 20 years did come off. A few days in like your situation should not be a problem. If you used decal setting solution it might take a while. Give it a shot and be patient! Good luck.
