Re: Parking sticker removal from fork leg?

[Robert Silas <robert.silas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once we are on the subject:
I am building a vitage bike of 1939. I had the fenders painted black by base 
coat+clear coat. For transport I packed them in bubble-wrap. The bubble wrap 
left sticky marks on the shiny surface.
Any idea how the best to wash those marks off, not harming the new paint??

Dental floss can be helpful getting the sticker off and/or some gentle 
heating with a hair dryer. I've had good luck with WD-40 for getting the 
sticky stuff off without harming painted surfaces.
