use a heat gun to get the decal off and if theres glue left try some wd-40 or pb blaster on a rag. worked for me. and the paint might be a little darker where the decal was depending on how long its been on there

plastic blade/scraper thing, paint thinner/adhesive remover or goo gone. Use a blow dryer and heat up the vinyl as you scrape off the decals/striping with the scraper. After you remove most of it, then follow up with the thinner or goo gone.

3M adhesive remover works really well. I thought better then the goo gone.
The rubber wheel on a drill is nice, but be careful ![]()

Use a heat gun to get the stickers off, after that let the glue dry again, then try WD40 or something of that nature, it would be wise to chase any chemicals you use on the paint with some water and a rag. Thats what we used to do at a body shop i worked at and it works really well.

Chisel it off... so what if it looks f'd up, atleast your not driving around with rainbow colors on your car and people won't think your a homosexual anymore.
