Default how easy to remove stickers from the side of a car

Hi,

Just seen a car i quite like apart from vinyl graphics down the side, they arent pictures just text, anyone know if these will come off without damaging the paint or leaving behind residue?

They come off pretty easy mate, just warm up with a hair dryer or heat gun a little and peel off.
Sometimes they leave a little residue, depends how long they have been on really, think it also depends on the paint colour too, have seen some removed that have a shadow left where they have been due to the sun on the exposed paint, ifmyounknow what I mean?

As said above, easy enough, remove with a little heat (hair dryer, warm water etc)

Some colours do leave a mark, mainly reds, but most come away without issues!
