I've ordered two of the Decal Remover Eraser Wheels from Amazon to strip off the stripes from the front of the coach. After 43 years the front stickers looked ragged.

Hooked to my drill I finished both front hatch covers in about an hour, leaving the paint in tact and making the coach more presentable. I was interested to see how dark the green strip originally was when I took off the G M C emblem. It was a dark, sort of, Kelly green. It helps to have good lighting and I had mid-day sunshine. Only mild pressure on the drill is needed and the stickers just disintegrate into a dusty mess.
I'm not about to work my way down the coach until it's time for paint. I used most of one wheel on the front hatches with plenty left to finish the nose.
A feel-good weekend DIY project for the most modest of shade-tree mechanics.
