Sticker problem

I finally got around today to putting my BP stickers on my car when I came across a problem.....I couldn't get the damn things apart! :(

Every time I started to peel them they just stuck to the other side of the sticker, I spent around 15 minutes and I couldn't get the full wording in 1 bit!

Does anyone have tips on how to do please??

Have you tried with them warmed up above ambient temperature?
I fitted some recently, and they were awkward till warmed.
It might be worth trying.

i got a scalpel under the letters and lifted them up and stuck them back on to the adhesion strip :smash:

If you have any problems with these, please let me know via PM and I'll get you some more posted out. As Rob says though, try warming them up a little first :)

little tip to get them exactly as you want
get spray bottle fill with warm water and add 1 drop
of washing up liquid shake it spray it lightly on area
were you want to put it
place graphic on and ull be able to move it around till
in desired position them bud it something like card to
push the water out allow to dry for little while then peal off

I had the same problem with the BP stickers and also my works logo stickers,
I did then try and warm them up first with a hot air gun and this helped a lot.
Also try and clean the paint work of polish first then do as Bart says :D

I'll give the soapy water trick a go as well!

Hopefully its dry tomorrow so I can have another go!
