Decals Removal and Replacement

I have a 2007 Passport 2910bh that had decals on both rear top and bottom fade and become discolored. The pewter colored decals have orange blotches and look terrible. I ordered new ones which do not come sized to fit and will need trimming to match existing layout. My question is I started to remove one small area using a heat gun and straight edge. It is a time consumer exercise that leaves sticky residue and scratch fiberglass. I was wondering why I couldn’t just go over the existing decals. They are not pealing or anything.

E597283,
I would not install the new decals over the old, the existing ones will eventually start to peal and crack then there goes your new ones. Replaced my front cap ones once and within six months they started to do the same, crack and dark red color on the white decal surfaces, the sun just cooks them. I removed them same as you with a heat gun and plastic scraper, be careful it will scratch. I removed the sticky residue with lacquer thinner then scrubber it good with soap and water. Then polished the front cap with a fiber glass polish. There is a ghost image there now but I can live with that, better looking than cracking faded decals. The sun here in southern Calif. is brutal. Good luck with it. Happy Campin....
