Should be easy enough just use a hot air gun but the paint could be faded if been on for a while.

Hot air gun helps, clean up with panel wipe or similar to remove gluey substances then polish. :blush:

 

It's pretty easy, some more so than others depending on type of adhesives, and how it was applied, and even down to whether the paint was clean/polished before they were applied.

I do quite a few, doing a Skyline atm, has massive great stickers up it! :P

An air gun helps but I have removed decals in the past with my girlfriends hairdryer. All you need to do is melt the glue then polish it off afterwards

Couldn't have put it better myself :)

 

Experiment with the amount of heat applied as you remove them - too little and the vinyl can be brittle and break off in little pieces. Too much and you'll leave all the glue behind on the panel.
