Default Removing lettering ?

I have the Repsol plastics and I want to remove the lettering off the plastics. Is this possible to do with out scratching the paint. I have had that look for a while and it it getting a little old to me. Any advice would help.

Like everyone said......blow dryer's work great.......but there is a small trick to it.

Heat it up, but don't continue to heat it....all that will do is cause it to rip while your pulling it. Just heat it up, use your finger nail, get a grasp on the corner and start pulling slowly, and evenly. It should come off with no residue, no problems.

For larger pieces roll the sticker up on a pencil as you go. I destickered an entire tribal RR with no razor blade, it isn't needed. Just get the edge going with your thumb/finger nail and you'll be good to go.

Hey just curious if you can still see an outline of where the stickers used to be after you remove them.
