Re: moving decals
Usually there is no solution on moving decals after they're placed and dry. You can try wetting the decal again to see if it will move, but usually they won't. I think there is some liquids out there that can help you. Hopefully someone can inform us.

Re: moving decals
Microset MIGHT work sometimes - use a brush and try to get under the edge carefully.
You can also try to polish it off, if you have a replacement and your layer of Future under the decal is thick enough to prevent you from sanding off the colour.

Re: moving decals
Yeah, a smal flat brush would work. I've used one of those firm orange kind. (I forgot the name...) Take enough time to moisten the decal with water (like lay a small piece of moistened Kleenex or paper towel). After a few minutes, gently move a moistened brush along the edge (instead of toward the center) until a part of the decal lifts up. You can repeat that on other sides, and progress toward the center little by little from all sides.

Update:
Messed it up already. Used 70% isopropyl alcohol and walah! paint in ruins! Oh well...

Ammonia dissolves Future and does not hurt paint. Why did you use alcohol? The people here have allot of experience, it would behoove you to take their advice or don't bother asking for it.
