rubbing alcohol and a razor blade be careful to leave your paint.

Use your finger nails, polish, rubbing compound, elbow grease. I never like the idea of putting something sharp on my paint.

razor blade? damn, maybe if they were stuck to glass...

just use your finger nails and some hot soapy water to get the glue off.

You can use a heat gun and heat it up and pull it off.Use goof off to take off any remaining adhesive.

The person who owned my car before me did that, and you can still see all the lettering, albeit faintly.

THe heat/goof off technique sounds like a good idea. Maybe have something less sharp standing by in case you need to pry.

I did mine in midafternoon when it was really hot and used a credit card and a bottle of goo gone. I do still have a faint outline but thats just a matter of washing and waxing till its gone.

dental floss works the best. and no matter what you're gunna use to get it off, you'll have an outline of the letters because it's new paint that's never seen sunlight, dirt, or rain.
it looks so much better when its done, though

razor blade is great to take off pinstriping.A razor will not hurt your paint as long as you hold it correctly and paying attention to where you are going.

holy crap a razor blade is a little extreme just to get some letters off my letters where a type of foam or somthing and the chrome started to look like crap and i used one of those cheap plastic ice scrapers i found in my car and that worked fine with no posibility to damage my paint

use either fishing line or dental floss and goo-gone. also use lots of water and the end of a plastic card(credit card) to help get it off. the longer u do it the better its gonna come out.

when you work at a body shop you dont have dental floss or fishing line around razorblades are fast and efficient. just take your time and youll leave your paint. i dont see what the big deal is.

If you don't have a heatgun, or if you'd just rather use something more mild, a hair dryer works really well also! I just used that and my fingernails.lol
