My friend has decals on the side of her truck from her dad's business and she'd like them taken off...

I have a heat gun but i'm just wondering if i need to be really careful with that or what? Can i damage the paint? whats the best way to go about it..?

or would it just be better/safe to use a hairdryer?

 

Parked in the sun on a hot day may be enough, certainly works on a new vehicle. If that doesn't work try a hair drier. If that doesn't work try the heat gun but take it easy.

 

^^X2 be cafeful with the heat gun, a hair dryer should be more then enough

 

we did this at my dad's sign shop all the time... heat it up, but DO NOT SORCH IT!!! Just enough to heat up the glue adhesive... make sure kep the gun moving so you don't burn it.

 

used a heat gun to take off the adhesive under my door molding. set it at 850 degrees. but yes, keep it moving and dont let it sit it one spot for more than a second, or say goodbye to your paint

 

Ok Thanks. Think i'm gonna start off with a hairdryer and see how that goes. A shop was gonna charge her $100 to do it so i figured i could give it a try and save her some money
