Default Question regarding decal on paint.

This may be a stupid question, but what would be the best way to get rid of the dealer decal on the back of my car above the left tail-light(you can see it in my sig.)? I think it would look much better without it, but I'm not sure how well it's stuck on there. If it's really adhered, what's the best way to remove it without damaging the paint? Of course, it may just peel right off, hopefully.

That sig is WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to big. Go to the Chopshop and see if they will either make it smaller for you, or make you a sig.

Max size is 500x250 pixles you are at 600x449

Just take a hairdyer and heat up the decal, it will come off pretty easy. If there is any residue left use WD40 or some Goo Gone to take care of that. Pretty simple really.

Yeah, heat the area and it should peel right off. Also don't forget to polish/wax the area afterward to make sure the newly-exposed paint is OK.

if it doesnt peel off well you can use an eraser wheel.... If you dont have one, some bodyshops will just do it for you no charge if its that small....
