Ok, this isnt really tech, but i need to take off the stock (22 years old) stickers on my hood of my jeep. What is the best (cheapest) way to do that at home?
before you take those off - keep in mind that you'll still be able to clearly read "wrangler" because the paint under the decals didn't fade like the paint on the jeep.... and heat gun/razor blade is the best way I know of.
You can get an eraser wheel from Napa and it will work fine in a regular electric drill. It will take it off without hurting the paint and without a lot of effort. IIRC they're about $25-looks like a 4" round gum eraser with an arbor in it.
I used to work at a graphics shop and we used a heat gun most of the time. We only used a razor when we had no other choice for fear of cutting into the paint. The buffers work sometimes but most of the time they just make a mess.
Like i said, im not worried about ruining the paint or anything because its not going to be red much longer. I just want to get them off as easily as possible.
go to your local body shop surply ..
and get a can of 3M adhesive remover..
in the shade. at dusk. with the hood cool.
spray the live'n sh it out of it..
with a razor(after the time on can)
lift a corner.. it'll peel off like butter
every body shop surply ..(if they sell paint they sell this)
it's saved alot of side moldings that the insurance co. payed for new..
as you can't always use the rubber wheel to remove the double sided tape..
