When I sanded mine I remember the stains went right down to the primer. But my stains were alot worse than yours, I can barely see them in those pics.

I'm never putting decals or stickers or graphics on any car of mine :)
The pics dont show the full extent of the issue. In the right light they show up big time. Oh well, still better than it was with the stickers on.

Sometimes I over think and over plan things making things difficult for myself.
Case in point is the eraser wheels.
Instead of all the stuffing around, searching on the net, buying them off ebar and all for $23.50 I could have just gone to Auto1 down the road and for $24.95 had the same thing, yes they stock them too :(.Think they are called a Caramel wheel or something like it.
Guess I saved "some" cash.

Haha don't worry about it I do the same thing; spend days looking on the internet ultimately to find it's just easier to go and buy it locally :rolleyes:

Then there are times I have looked at something at Bxxxxxngs like the Lockwood 355 @ $142 and find same on ebar for $90 delivered.

Think a lot of us do exactly same over thinking - I'm another one guilty - finding it oftns takes less time to do an admirable job on something , than what time wasted on planning it :)
