RE: Removing stickers
If you are getting it done at a body shop they will have an eraser wheel and it will take the decals off without harming the paint, so it wouldnt hurt ask them to do it. But dont use lacquer thinner if you plan on doing it yourself.

RE: Removing stickers
It'd be easier for you just to bring it in. They MIGHT use a wheel, or do like I said. Just depends where you bring it.
KTM300- Here you are again cutting other people down with some erronious "knowledge" that came out of your rectum while preaching that your way is right....have you ever tried using laquer thinner? I have--without a problem. I've pulled dozens of signs and graphics off, as well as prepping all the cars I buff with laquer thinner. I've NEVER had a problem. If you don't know for sure one way or another, keep you f-ing mouth shut. It's people like you on here who make it so damn hard to get a decent answer. Always contradicitng what others say becuase if your little mind (notice, i did not say from experience) you feel that it is wrong.

Why not go the safe route and prevent someone from screwing their paint up, if you really do have any true knowledge you would know how expensive it is to paint a car. And yes most modern shops will use an eraser wheel, there is no arguement there. Time is money and sitting there with a heat gun pealing decals is slow.

RE: Removing stickers
I'm not a little "e-thug" as you say. I've detailed hundreds of cars, and used laquer thinner on every one of them to take off tar and old wax. Single stage cheap paint jobs WILL stand up to laquer thinner, as long as you don't drench the car in it or let a rag dripping wet sit on the hood for 1/2 an hour.
Clarification: Try the laquer thinner in an inconspicuous spot if the previous paint looks like a $200.00 paint job. But, if the car has a $200.00 paint job, why would it have the DEALERSHIP STICKER FROM 1989????????????????? There you go again making assanine assumptions.
With that said.....
Jeremiah- Sorry that some people on these forums postwithout prior knowledge. Its too bad that they think that just because it sounds right in their head, without actually trying other methods out, that they waste space on good people's posts.
Hopefully you've already resolved the issue. You said that you were bringing it in "tomorrow" which I would have taken as today. Hopefully your car shines like new now!
I do have true knowledge, and know how much it costs to paint a car. And no- not most "modern" shops use those eraser wheels. They work nice, granted, but if his paint was that bad, like you somehow magically know it is, why would you chance it with an eraser then? IF the paint was in poor enough of shape that laquer thinner would wreck it, then a high speed rubber wheel would also screw it up. \
