if it is anything like mine then it wont damage the paint and it will look brand new and shiny under the stickers

I'll back you up there Jim, I don't remember it with stripes and I haven't noticed and marks at all  :wink:

fram:
The way they do it in the body shops is to heat the stickers bit by bit with a hairdried, just enough to soften the glue, scrape of the sticker with something like a filler spreader, then the glue can be taken of with good old petrol.

spy:
Ive removed small stickers from cars with a kettle of water before now.  Worked perfectly with no paint damage.  Tar and glue remover is the official stuff, petrol will probably get the glue off tho.  

Oh and, dont blame me if boiling water does damage, it never has done when I did it! :D

The trick is to find the right balance of heat....  just enough to soften the graphics, and it will come away from the vehicle..   too hot and the glue will stay behind as you peel off the substrate... leaving you with a horrible sticky mess on the vehicle.

Patience is the order of the day ;-)
