When people remove signage
Selling or trading in a work ute or van, rebranding the business, ending a vehicle lease, or simply taking old stickers off a family car. A vehicle without old branding is easier to sell and looks far more cared for.
Why the paint needs care
Vinyl protects the paint underneath from the sun, so after removal the covered area can look slightly different from the rest: that's the ghosting outline. Machine polishing blends it in, and a sealant protects the freshly exposed paint.
Business vehicles we look after
How we remove vinyl signage
We warm the vinyl gently to soften the adhesive, then lift it with plastic tools so nothing metal touches the paint. Leftover glue is removed with an adhesive remover that's safe on clear coat, and the area is washed. Finally, the paint is polished to blend in any outline left by the signage.
Why an outline can appear
Paint under vinyl is shielded from the sun, while the paint around it keeps fading. After a few years that can leave a faint ghost of the signage once the vinyl comes off. Machine polishing usually makes it far less visible, but on older or heavily faded paint a faint outline can remain. If the paint needs more work, see paint correction.

Common questions
Will removing signage damage my paint?
Not when the vinyl is heated and peeled carefully. Original factory paint is very rarely affected; resprayed panels need more care, and we'll check first.
How much does signage removal cost?
It depends on how much vinyl there is and how old it is. Send a few photos for a free quote.
Will there be an outline after the signage comes off?
Sometimes. Paint under the vinyl fades less than the paint around it, which can leave a faint outline. Machine polishing usually makes it much less visible.
How long does signage removal take?
It depends on the size and age of the vinyl. Small logos are quick, while large graphics take longer. Send photos with your quote request and we'll give you a time.
How can I pay?
Cash, card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or Afterpay, paid when the job is done.
