Styling Removing Uno Start stickers?

[Icestorm]

Hi,
I am going to try & remove them horrible pink & blue uno start stickers from my car. What is the best way to remove them without damaging the paintwork underneath? Any suggestions?

Hot air gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then carefully peal them off, use white spirits or petrol to remove any traces of adhesive left afterwards.

Use a low settng on the air gun or you will burn the paint!

I’ve also read a hair dryer will do the job

I’m keeping my START stickers right where they are – not that I like them much .

Good rep points asked for. , Got the stickers off without much hassle at all. One thing I will add though is don't heat the stickers up too much otherwise the stickers tend to stretch & break into little pieces rather than come off in one piece.
Thanks

This was the first thing I did to my uno. Just used a hairdryer and buffed it up afterwards

Another way of removing stickers is to get a kettle of boiling water and pour it over the sticker. Obviously take precautions to not let the boiling water spill onto yourself! Do a bit at a time and you should be able to get it off, then use Methylated Spirits to remove the glue residue. T-cut and polish to make it look good.

Best thing to use is a hot air gun on a lower setting. I found hairdryers weren't powerful enough. But if you have neither then boiling water normally does the trick.
