Quoted from GLSP3022:

This old side art has me stumped as far as removal. It won't budge! I've tried chemicals, razors, freezing it...nothing is working

I assume you also tried a heat gun? I had to use a real heat gun (not a hairdryer) to remove the multiple layers of overlay on the CP of my Centipede I’m working on. I had to get that decal hot!

Quoted from GLSP3022:

Good idea. However, not owning a heat gun, I had to try with a hair dryer on hi. Whoa...it's peeling right off. But you've gotta keep that vinyl sticker hot!

If a hairdryer is all you got, it’s better than nothing. An actual heat gun will get a bit hotter and should last longer than a hairdryer. A hairdryer isn’t designed to run for extended periods.

And yes, you have to get that sticker hot! Wear gloves!
