I just bought a black 93 notch and it has those Pony stickers on mid front of the door and front fender on both sides of vehicle. My questions is what is the best way to remove them without damaging the black paint? it's so baked on as you try to lift them off they break apart in little pieces. Any suggestions? I was thinking heat gun but I don't own one. Would there be any other method? Thanks

or maybe some goo-gone.

Go to your local harbor freight(or similar) and pick up a cheap heat gun. I think I got mine for $15

Ok so the heat gun would be the perfect tool without damaging paint. I was looking for a cheaper alternative. Any other suggestions or did any one try an adhesive spray remover?

Ok I got it done and I used a rubber eraser wheel with a 1/4" arbor that attaches to any type of drill. It took me about 20 minutes both side of car and I also removed the two sided tape from on of the door moldings. Rubber eraser wheel cost me about 15 bucks and it works very well but it can get messy. Any one interested in this wheel there is videos of auto detailers on you tube using this same product made by 3m. My local auto paint store had a different brand but it did the same thing.
