Sticker problem

Post by DJBB »

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 :)

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
