You can probably get some 3M adhesive remover to dissolve the adhesive on the graphic. Let the chemical do the work and slowly peel. Could be a ghost image of the graphic left over, but that remains to be seen. White is probably your best chance to not see anything once the graphic is removed.

^3M adhesive remover is amazing stuff! You may also need to use a heat gun as well and DA polish to blend the area. On a White Raptor you shouldn’t have any problems. (Remember start with the least aggressive combo and slowly work up as needed). Top it with a good ceramic coating or sealant and you’ll never know you had decals.

Thanks guys.

I'll keep the 3M in mind if needed.

Wow, washing away $2K of upgrades. Poor truck. How will everyone know its a Raptor then and not an F-150 with a FORD grill? LOL

I did that peeled the graphics off with a hair dryer nice and smooth no problems. When done I have the perfect ghost images of now gone graphics. Dumbo me

That's the big fear. I have you tried anything to get rid of the ghost image?

I removed part of my bedside graphics when the truck was new, so I saw no ghosting. The stickers are fairly easy to remove when the truck is warm from sitting in the sun and I did not have to use any adhesive remover. If it is cold in Dubai this time of year, then use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the sticker before peeling. Make sure you pull it smoothly with a consistent amount of pressure and it should come right off.

Here is the thread where I explain how I removed the outer edges of my bedside stickers: (I have since removed the black square from the "O")

Oh they will know. At least knowledge

If it’s affecting the clear coat you can do something. If it faded the base coat then no way.

I decided to keep my bed graphics, as the truck came with them. I was set on a graphicless truck. But I later decided why tear off the option and I kind of got used to them. The wife said she was liking them too.

Nothing worked I’ve learned to live with it. And laugh about it

Do you have any pictures that show the ghosting?
