We took Tiny's stickers off using a hairdryer, work really well.

But carefull of your fingers though, when i had a go the glue from the stickers kept getting stuck on my thumbs and i had a huge blister

as said hairdrier or body shop heat gun, but be very very carefull if you use a heat gun, cab cause the paint to bubble and melt.
