Need help removing this sticker
I need help removing the stickers on that middle panel bc I am replacing it with a new one. I've heated that sucker up pretty good with my heat gun but I still can't get it to budge. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

I've never worked with this but in my expeirence working as a detailer at an old job I used to heat decals/emblems or anything with adhesive on it not enough to burn the paint because you can for sure do that if you don't keep the heat gun moving. Then I would take one of those Red plastic blades and use the corner to try and lift it up a bit or you can be careful and use your nail. If that fails try getting some adhesive remover of some sort and spray it on all over it after you heat it up THEN use the plastic blade. It can sometimes help using a little lubrication instead of going straight on it.

Thanks for the info. I'm not familiar with this plastic blade you are talking about. Is this something the local auto store may carry? Its just a couple blocks down the road so I may swing in there and see what they have. Thanks again!

If your filler panel is stock, there are no stickers to remove. If you want to remove the bird and Trans AM lettering you can polish the panel and use nail polish remover to get rid of all the red ink. If you bought a vinyl overlay, just clean the area and place it over top of the existing bird and lettering.

search the terms' polish center section' or' polish center panel', ...
Done many, many times around here.
Nail polish remover on a towel will remove it.
Do NOT get it on the car paint tho.
Then simply remove wax/grease/etc, apply new decal, & polish again.
Search 'painted center section' for many past examples of custom units also.

My filler panel is stock as far as I know. That may be why it won't "peel" off lol.
