Decal paint can be removed with pine sol.  There is a few articles out there on how to do this.  You can also use a scuff pad to give the factory paint a little bite and repaint from there.  If you dont put the paint on too thick you should be fine about leaving the details on the body.  Also most paint removal techniques wont remove the paint from the recessed details any way.  If you choose the scuff pad method the green will be the best but the red ones will work too but go light if you use the red it is more aggressive than the green.
