4x4 sticker removal from Tuxedo black

[2012Powerstroke]

I know people have said that removing the 4x4 stickers is rather easy but just wondering if anyone has ever removed them from the tuxedo black color and if it left a shadow or other evidence of having been there. Truck is a 2012 but didn't get to start sitting on the lot until Sept so they've only been on since then. Thoughts?

yes and no shadow whatsoever. Do it before the sun/acidic rain gets a hold of the paint! If you wash your truck on a regular basis, (i do it weekly), the chance of showing is minimal to none.

I have tuxedo and you can't see any trace whatsoever. Mine is a '10 and i purchased in late '12 and pulled it off.

I also just peeled them off but my truck was actually still on the lot when I did it....lol

The sooner you do it, the better.
Did it on my '12 tuxedo black and can't even tell it was there to begin with.
I used a heat gun to remove it... on low temp of course. Peels off real easily using that.

A blow drier is more safe!

What process did you use to safely remove the 4x4 stickers on your black truck? Heat area with a blow dryer and dig at it with a finger nail? I asked an accessory shop if they would remove them and they declined, said I needed a graphics expert to do it.

Let me know if a klutz like me can heat and peel them off without damage. I've never seen it done.

Yeah just heat them up and then work it with your fingernail.
