Removing 4x4 Stickers
 

I have a 2002 F150 with the "Sport 4x4" stickers on the back. Pics:

I was wanting to remove this stickers and I need suggestions or techniques on how to remove them. Will it leave a faded part on my paint since the truck is a 2002? Thanks for any help.

I've always had success removing emblems, stickers, etc. by applying heat. I usual borrow my wife's hair dryer, and by applying low steady heat can usually get a corner to start popping up (sometimes helped along by a fingernail or soft plastic scraper of some sort). I continue applying heat along the sticker as I gently pull off. Cleanup any residue with WD40, wash affected area... and re-polish and re-wax.

I suspect you may be able to see a bit the sticker outline the truck being 4 years old and all, but I don't think it'll be too bad.

Good luck!

The sun heated mine up enough I was able to pull them off. Then I used Goo Gone to get ride of the sticker residue.

Heat gun or hair dryer... then some patience to peel it off. Goo-Gone or another solvent like WD40 will remove the residue. Do NOT allow the residue to sit on your paint for much more than a few seconds. Be sure to wax the areas where any solvent hits your paint...

Be reminded, based on your trucks' age, you may end up with a slight shadow there...

BTW, hello fellow Kentuckian!

I may just leave the sticker then..... I don't think it looks too bad now, but a shadow would look alot worse....the driver side pealed slightly on one corner...I may go to the dealership and make sure they can still get these stickers and if they can remove just one to see if it leaves a shadow! Maybe the white wont show it. Thanks.

I recommend a hair dryer over a heat gun just becasue a good heat gun will get too hot and in the wrong hands could easily damage the paint. As for the shadow, yours should not be too bad expecially on white. It would be really noticable on a darker color. I pick up my 2006 F-150 today and this week I plan on pulling the decals off the bed.

Steam iron - hold just close enough to steam it up and it will pull right off.

Has worked well for me in the past, also.
