Question Removing Stickers from body

Thinking about removing the STX stickers from the bed of my truck. Would it be hard to do? I don't want to mess up the paint!
Or should I just leave it alone?

Not difficult at all. I removed the 4X4 Sport stickers from my truck. Just use a hair dryer and peel it off.

Thumbs up

Hey Kenster:

Welcome to the site. Ron is correct. Just heat up one corner of the decal with a hair dryer, then use your fingernail to get it started. Slowly peel it staight back on itself (Don't pull out). Continue to apply heat where the decal meets the body, as you pull back. This should remove it without leaving a lot of goo on the paint.

Thanks, Selva and Ron, for the advise. If some residue remains how should I clean it?
I know I could just leave the stickers on but the Truck speaks for itself and the STX stickers don't really fit a 47 year old school teacher.

Don't fit a 47 year old school teacher? Where does it say that?

Well, there are a lot of real nice trucks in the school parking lot, but mine is going to be a head turner when we go back to school in January! And just wait til I start accessorizing! Gotta do the bug deflector first. (any recommendations?) Then tail light guards, white headlights, and maybe the window 'rain guards' or whatever they're called. Not so sure about those yet.
