Sticker removal

With the forks off the bike I took the opportunity to remove this part so I can get these ugly obsolete stickers off. They are very stubborn and I don’t want to make a mess out of it. Can anyone recommend a product to use? How much heat can that part take?

Plastic razor blades. I'm definitely checking that out!
The beauty of the pampered chef scraper is that it has varying radius rounded corners, perfect for the concave area where the NC sticker was placed.
Works real good on my Iron skillets, too.

Bought these when I had to remove peeling decals on my toy hauler. I do have heat gun, but bought a cheap hair dryer.
Luckily, I didn't need any heat. The front of the trailer was in direct sunlight and fairly hot.

They don't work very well on my beard.

The absolute best method of sticker removal I know of. Quick easy and clean.

Unless that is plastic. If it is this is a BAD idea.

My neighbor removed the OEM Z71 labels from his truck with one. They were vinyl coated stickers. Came of easily without damage. You just have to keep working it from the edge of the sticker.

C-4 will remove any sticker, but there might be some slight discoloration. 🤡

Pampered Chef Scraper- check!

And smooth peanut butter for adhesive remover….apply plenty, then buff off with a microfiber rag.
Got some really stubborn stickyYuck? Leave a heavy coat of peanut butter on overnight.
Doesn’t harm finishes.

Hope not too late for this thread.
Goop hand cleaner. Doesn't do for labels but the glue. A little Goop, a cloth,like a microfiber, and a little rubbing.
