Default Tank Decal and Side Decal Removal on an F4i

I have searched this and couldn't find an answer to my question so here ya go. Can that sticker be removed? I removed my 600 f4i and cbr stickers but could not get the Honda emblem off of the tank. It seems to have some type of clear coat over it maybe. Can someone tell me if it is even possible to take off without having to wind up painting it?
Also wondering about the giant F4i letters on the side fairings. I know that they are one piece to the silver stickers but if pull all of it off will it be silver underneath?

The sticker should be over the paint+clearcoat on the tank so it should come off with a little work.

Yes its under the clearcoat. You should just carefully use a rasor and cut out around them and the you could remove them. Take it to a shop and have them sand it down and reclear it and it will look like it came that way.

I'm not sure about the clearcoat, but if you use one of those steam wallpaper remover thingy's, they'll all come right off . . . I used one on mine and all of 'em practically fell off . . .
