Removing pinstripes, decals????
Does anyone know of the best way to remove the Lariat pinstripes, label and FX4 decal? I have heard to heat it up with a blow dryer and slowly pull - but does this leave a sticky residue? Is there some sort of "paint friendly" solvent/solution that will remove the adhesive without harming the paint?
Appreciate any assistance....

Great, so it sounds like it is just a matter of getting one of the edges up and then pulling slowly? How old is your truck? Was there any noticeable difference (lines in the paint)?
Thanks for your response.

I have a 2001 4x4 that I took the stickers off with the heat gun method. Came off pretty easy. I couldn't see/feel any residue but there must have been some because when it rained you could see where the stickers were. A couple of washings/waxings took care of it. I had waited about a month after getting my truck to do this.

Yep, just get your fingernail underneath one corner and it comes off easily. Wash, wax, repeat! Done. I took off the pinstriping on my Lariat Screw. I had the truck for 7 months before I took the pinstriping off and there is no evident difference in the paint coloration (my truck is black).
