    ok my truck has those ridiculous stickers going down the side that were only cool in 93. im going to try to take them off and was just wondering what would be the best way of doing it? i've used 3m adhesive removal before and that worked good for pin stripes, but what about a sticker this size?

    get a blow dryer or a heat gun and a plastic puddy knife. that should do the trick. but i have bad news for you... your paint has probably faded and the paint below your stickers hasnt. so your probably still going to be able to see them a little

    id be willing to bet 20 bux there will be a shadowed impression of the sticker once it is removed, no matter how much you buff or wax it.....

    I took my stickers off my silver 91 tens years after they were on with no shadow
    they make a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill that just rubs them right off no paint damage
