Default Remove stickers

I have a fire red sport and I want everything I add on to be black. The sport and wrangler stickers are grey. I want to replace them witty flat black stickers. How do I remove the old ones without scratching the paint.

There's a YouTube video that tells you what you need and what to do to remove them, it's pretty simple and straight forward.

They are just vinyl stickers. Use a hair dryer to heat them up a little and start peeling them off. Just takes a kittle time.

You can use WD40 to remove any adhesive left.

I've used a hair dryer in the past to warm up the adhesive on the back of the sticker for easy removal.......then cleaned up the remaining adhesive with 3m adhesive remover (i've even used isopropyl alcohol to remove the remaining adhesive in the past)......wash area well afterwards and replace with the matte black stickers you want.

Cheers

I just parked mine outside for a couple of hours on a 90+ degree day and then peeled all the stickers off with my fingernail.

Speaking of sticker removal, have any of you successfully removed the overhead visor stickers that stick out like a sore thumb? They seem like they're super glued on!

I have a fire red JK also and mine came off easy. Started peeling on a corner and it came right off. Very little glue left on the car.
