Hi all, so my Trek pin has a number of standup targets that need addressing. A few are switches that need to be flat-out replaced, several others are in good condition, but I'd like to switch (so to speak) their decals to new ones...

With regards to removing existing decals on the good condition switches, are there any recommendations as to how to approach this?

Do people usually remove the target switch from the PF before switching decals?

Any particular method recommended for removal? Peel and pull, or is there a chemical method that's preferred?

Thanks for the helpful tips, all!

(And @Zitt, thanks for the decals heads up! I did end up grabbing one of the full sets over on Marco, the ramp decals were on desperate need of replacing as well... Cheers! Decal it came with on bottom, complete with black fingerprints, replacement installed on top)

Quick follow-up: do most of you do this with the target protruding right off of the PF, or do you usually disconnect the switch and pull it off the PF to do this?

Quoted from Zitt:

I looked last night and didn't see any decals at marco.
Do you have a link?

Here you are, sir!
