    Leather Helmet question....

    I'm going to purchase a leather New Yorker in a few weeks and I want to put another type of trim on it(I don't care for Glo-Flex)so, does any one know how to get the reflective stickers off of the helmet without taking some paint with it also?

    LEATHER FOREVER!!!!!!

      Se if you can get it w/o the glo-flex. If not peel very carefully. If you pull some paint off under what would be the glo- flex it'll cover up with the new trim. If not, get Testors model paint gloss black and apply very thin coats to the area. Covers well and trim will adhere fine.

          You can use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive of the glo-flex, then peel it of very slowly.

              Someone at my department just got a new leather. He got rid of 2 of the glow stickers, and replaced them with some other stuff. He just pealed slowly and carefully, there wasn`t any glue left, and the paint stayed in place.

                  Hey Hazmat961... I just purchased a new Ny'er and received the GloFlex stickers as well. Hate em. I peeled them off without any problem. Just take your time & you wont have a problem. Brian
