I am putting   new lettering on my van  Grin but am having trouble getting off the 12 inch National Fed stickers , when I try to peel them off they just bring the paint off or come off in bits, any tips Cool

I was told by a sign writer quite recently, use the blunt razors from your window blades, and clean off with sign writers removal fluid after. I've used acetone, but don't get it on plastic or window rubber.

Remember to heat them first with a hot air gun or failing that the wife's hairdryer if you're going to peel them off. Bodyshops now tend to buff them off with a rotary pad

Best of Luck!

Just use your old window scraper blade.
