All stickers (top tube, down tube, chain stays) are under the clear coating.

I think the stickers are cool. black with mirrored decals. I give them the thumbs up. Plus, they are under a clear coat.

In answer to your question...

as no one else appears to have...

yes you can.


As the other posters have elluded to, it would be a strange thing to do. You'd need to remove the clear coat and the stickers.

I'm a little confused as to why a person who would need to ask how to do it, would consider doing it to a top end carbon frame.

My firm suggestion, is that if thats what you really want to do, have an expert do it for you...

um yeah... an expert? An expert what? Exactly what makes someone an expert at removing decals? I am awaiting the bike and have not seen one in person and I'd like to keep most of the decals off it. Logical enough for you? Good thanks. Now do you or anyone have suggestions as towhat I should use? Much appreciated

Could you not have talked to your supplier at the time of purchase. Could they not arrange for Scott to produce a frame without decals? You'd end up with a much nicer finish if the job were done at source... in the factory...
