PinkTurboGirl Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I want to get my stickers on my car replaced, but, ive taken the back peice off and its leaving backing paper, goo n all sorts of ugly things behind Ive heard that heating them up with a hairdryer can help, but it will take me forever and a day to get them all off! I'm also a bit worried as i had the stickers applied within a week of having the car re-sprayed, would this mean i could have a big problem getting them off?? Theyve started to peel at the corners and well... i wasnt entirely happy with way they were put on in the first place. Any advice from anyone in the know would be appreciated. Oh Mr Mean&Green, would you kindly put those photoshop skills into action just once more for me???? I want to replace the graphics with the full size ones, (also in white) could you do me a preview?? ta hun, I owe ya a kiss Link to comment
ukscoob Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 hi i bought a sign written van once and some one in a body shop told me to use boiling water pour it on then peel them off it worked a treat for me(by the way i still havent fitted that pink spoiler i bought of you) Link to comment
robert_harding Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 i have always found that using the haidryer method is best. and when you peel em off....peel them back on themselves and not directly awya from the surface , if you know what i mean. Link to comment

my93wrx Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Speak with Pete @ Prosport, apparently a dyno run can cause them to come off just ask Nige Link to comment

Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Can't john help you out with this? Link to comment
John WRX Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 << Can't john help you out with this? >> Have tried mate, there is a fair bit of residue left after peeling off the stickers and due to the original stickers being put on only a matter of days after the car was sprayed i dont want to go at it too hard with TF5 or any other chemical incase it upsets the paintwork. Bit of a "sticky" situation. Pardon the punn Link to comment
