Default removing stickers from bonnet

I have had my ute for 6 years, and got the boss 260 stickers put on the bonnet bulge sides just after i got it...and now they look a little too faded. i was wondering what would be the easiest way to remove them without damaging the paint ? just slowly tear them off ? or is there another way.
cheers

use a heatgun or hairdrier to heat up the sticker ,this will melt the glue then they should just pull off

dont get the paint to hot or you will burn it

Warm the vinyl up with a hairdryer or heat gun

Peal the vinyl up (if quality vinyl was used should be easy)

Clean glue left over with an citrus based glue remover (safe for the paint and works well) can also use wax and grease remover but citrus tends to work better.

Might need a polish or you will see the edges of where the vinyl
