Help needed with LE decal removal

I started peeling the decals off of the body plastic on my black LE and while pulling it seems like it is pulling the paint off with it. Has anyone else experienced this? Howdo i prevent this from happening? Thanks!

use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat the stickers just a little then they will pull off like butter

Will that not make the paint come off even easier?

Ive never pealed paint and i pulled the decals off a 09 and my new 2010.

Well, i went ahead and used the blow dryer to finish it up, the paint peeled from both rear fenders and not the front. I wonder if I just got a crappy paint job on the rear fenders? Oh well, the damge is done now..Here are a few pics...






The front unharmed..

My paint came off in several places. I did not really care so much since I was painting mine, but otherwise I would have been upset.

I'm pretty upset about it, I have a feeling that the paint is just going to get worse from the wind, dirt and washing it. It peels off reall easily. I must go ahead and see how much it is to buy the black replcment plastic...dunno....blahh this sux!

from the pics you sure thats not glue?

Most definitely not glue! There is another spot on the drivers side fender up at the top where a branch got to it, it has started peeling there too!

Well isn't that stealth black just a flat black, might be easy to touch it up

Yeah. I'd think you could touch-it up with some rattle-can flat-black.

I heated mine up with a hair dryer , and pulled
them off real slow. and did not peel any paint.

I am sorry to hear yours did , thats a bummer....

Im def going to give it a try, its almost as if the paint on this thing is one giant sticker, I think I could literally peel all the paint off the fenders.

did you ask your Polaris dealer?
