if its just a vynil sticker i dont know where you live but if you have body shops around you have acsess to a body shop supply store, go to it and buy a easer wheel , its a rubber wheel that removes vynil, double faced tape, and other vynil like products

buy the arbor put it in a cordless drill and go to work, it doesnt remove paint, only if its a old repaint, or fresh repaint, or real old factory paint

doing it that way you will be out there for hours peeling with you hands with this maybe 15 mins

Streetassasin has the right idea. If you want to do it quick and cheap, go to any auto store, and they will carry Goo Gone. The stuff really is magic. Its like 4 or 5 bucks, and will take you less than 5 minutes to fix the problem.

goo gone works good, but i think goof off works much better/faster and with less of a mess- since the goo gone is an aerosol it spreads over a larger area, but with the goof off being a liquid, using a towel/cotton ball you can apply exactly where needed, and like i said, it works a lot better...yet has no effect on the cars finish

goof off runs like $5 at home depot in the spray paint section-made to remove stickers, sharpie, paint, and pretty much anything you need

Goo Gone is a liquid, unless theres some other type I don't know about. I have never seen aerosol Goo Gone before, and I buy this stuff every few months. I use it on everything.

heat it up with a hair drier, and use adhesive remover on it.

hair dryer/heat gun wont hurt the paint unless you dont use your head and hold it in the same spot for a long period of time...
