Removing an old cp overlay

(1/1)

traknfieldSUPAstar:
What's the best way to remove an overlay on a metal cp? I started to peel the one I have right now, but it's brittle and it comes off in strips, plus there's still a "sticky" residue left over. Any suggestions?

on a side note: Is a heat gun the best way to remove side art (the sticker kind, not the painted ones)?

Q*Bert_OP:
Soak the entire metal panel in paint stripper for at least 5 hours, then use a metal scraper to get the overlay off.

RayB:
Keep peeling/ripping it away.

Get one of those razor scrapers. That helps.

Then when it's all off, use Goo Gone and the razor scraper to remove the sticky stuff.
 

Stingray:
Heat gun to remove the CPO, followed by laquer thinner on a rag to remove the goo.

DreamArcades:
I've prefer goo be gone as well, but any orange cleaner will work in a pinch.
