Gold Firebird Graphics Removal?

I have an 82 T/A with the gold graphics along the bottom, is it possible to remove this without damaging paint underneath...

Im not a fan of the gold and as long as It can come off clean im doing it!

yes it is. get yourself a razor blade, goo gone, wd-40 and a pillow to sit on. Now very carefully remove them with the razor using the wd-40 as lube. dont press to hard or will will dig into the paint. you just want to slide under the graphics. Use the goo gone to remove whatever adhesive is left. Then you are going to want to wax your car so you cant notice the fresh white paint under the graphics.

Good luck.

if you do that, be careful not to burn your paint.

+1 on the heat gun. After you get it off, there will be residue left over, and then use goo gone.
