Remove all of the decals best you can, then take a rag with wd-40 on it to remove the sticky let over residue. What I did was take the design of the decals and use them as a templete and used a razor to cut them out then painted over the decal and removed it.

Wow that looks nice do you have to sand at all before painting?

You don't want to sand you want to scuff (huge difference). I use red scotch brite pads. You can buy them at target or wal-mart. After you scuff it up wipe it down with rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth.

Sure if wanted too. Not necessary though, user choice. You should scuff the bottom of the hull anyway, adds more speed.
