Big Problem on my bonnet

[kid_720datto]

hey guys,
as you can see in the picture i have a major problem. long story short i left a magnetic p-plate on there too long and it baked itself to my bonnet. very stupid i know. the high spots are from me gluing other p plates to the patch, A) to hide the big ugly patch and B) because it wont stick to it.

so far i have tried
-razor blades
-metho
-fishing line
-hair dryer and each of the above

the only way i can see it going is to sand it back and get the bonnet repainted.

any suggestions?

Prepsol/wax and grease remover will soften the glue use stiff plastic e.g old credit card or bog applicator then a rag soaked to remove the rest.

You could try a caramel wheel, it may get it off, just be careful you don't burn the paint.

Using a heat gun may work too, a hair dryer doesn't get hot enough.

id try the caramel wheel and then hit it with some wax and grease remover, you can get that off without a respray.

I still fail to see any logic in sticking anything to your paint....

caramel wheel is designed for this kinda stuff, dont stress to much about burnning it because you will have to buff it afterwards anyway, im a spray painter, id just grind it off and re paint it. but ofcourse it would cost me alot less than it would you.

ok well ive been reading these replys and talking to some guys at work and figured out a caramel wheel is gonna work best so went down to the local paint supplies and picked one up for 7 bucks. ill have a crack at it soon and post some pics up.

hope it works

ok well the caramel wheel worked pretty good. took about an hour to get rid of the bulk and then about 5 minutes cut and polishing to get rid of the scuff marks. looks a million times better even though at a close look u can stil see some marks where it was and from the wheel
