Default Anyone know how to remove stickers from toy rc body ?

I have a few really nice toy RC bodies I was thinking of using for scale builds but the stickers are not coming off easy at all . Does anyone have advice on how to remove them without ruining the finish on the body ?

I have had luck with using a heat gun to remove factory decals and sticker. Once they start to warm up they will peel right off.

Don't get the body too hot

X2 on the heat gun, but I'd probably try a hair dryer first on a plastic body. Go easy and don't get it too hot.

A blow torch will work. You could try wd40 or goo be gone just try it out in a small place to make sure it does not harm the paint.

+1 on the WD40-Just make sure to thoroughly wash the body in dish detergent before painting-otherwise it will be a nightmare to paint-
