I am having the derelict Alan Johnson do a (hopefully) removable lettering job on my 1940 Chevy sedan...the doofus wants to know what will be removable...?? The car will be used in the play Grease (no, Alan is not drooling again), and we need to know what will wash/wipe off besides vinyl(which causes some sort of nuclear reaction to Mr. Johnson anyway and inhibits his beer holding capabilities)..so...whasssa up ....help please...reply to himself...this is Skipp, but really AJ needsd to know...he is too shy to ask himself....

Big bad Al. Someone once told me to use hairspray (squirt bottle not aerosol) for a washable background.Lettering will come off in a jiffy.I am past the point of using hair spray. Al,try it on an out of the way plece.(muffler maybe)Good luck.

I have seen lettering done on clear vinyl, and trimmed so it looks painted (They trimmed around the lettering outlines or edges.), but actually isn't painted on the vehicle surface.
There is also an advertiser in Signcraft magazine that claims they have an application fluid for easily removing vinyl after short periods.

Maybe combining these two ideas will work?

with friends like skipp , well you know, you can;t turn your back for a second around here . i think he's going a little bonkers cause he can't go crusin . i think a d.a. still removes paint pretty well. what about adding oil to the paint ? or how bout those guys that lettered there rental car so they could park in front of the letterhead meet without being towed , what did they use ?

Alan,

I would use a piece of clear static cling vinyl and hand letter after ty-coating. Just my 4.7 cents worth...

Have a great one!

There is a clear enamel receptive material used for screen printing called promotional, it's a polyester I believe. NDS used to carry it, comes in sheets about two foot suare. It's designed to be easily removeable up to six months, no tie coat necessary. I stays on pretty good too. I did an ad on a sprint car that was in a car show one winter. He ran the entire following season with the ad still on the car. They brought me the car the next winter to repaint and the ad pulled right off.
