If it's a water slide decal, just soak it with some warm water and that should lossen it up, provided it hasn't been clearcoated with some enamel coating. :) rr

If you're trying to remove the decal and not the paint try using a hi-tac tape like packing tape, place it over the decal and carefully peal it off. If the paint is of decent quality it won't come off. Unfortunately you can't save the decal to reuse it later. If you do soak it like roadrunner says you could in theory reuse it by reapplying it later using micro-sol.
