    Use what the pros would use. A 3M eraser wheel chucked up in a cordless, variable speed drill. The eraser wheel is what auto body pros use for sticker and pinstripe tape removal as well as debadging.

    Wash the area very well first and ensure the area is dry prior to using. Operate the drill only as fast as required to remove the sticker. Paint cleaning, polishing and waxing is usually required when stickers have been in place a while to eliminate sticker ghosting.

    While those are good techniques the unicorn has resisted all normal/mortal attempts to remove it.

    At the risk of not reading all 100+ pages of this thread, (I'm sure there some awesome suggestions for rainbow unicorn sticker removal), at first glance, it looks photo shopped.. GLW dat!

    If Photo Shop put it on maybe they can take it off. Do you have an address to this Photo Shop?

    Hmm that does pose a serious problem then.... I suppose a a rattle can of black paint might do the trick .. that, or possibly a stylish tailgate net.

    Correctamundo!

    That franchise hasn't made it to my part of the world yet.


    You guys should really read the entire thread to appreciate what's going on here. This is a very delicate situation we have here. We could make the earth implode if we're not careful, or solve world hunger. Depending on how we proceed.

    Then you have not read it all. It should take at least two days to read it all.

    I don't have a problem with unicorns, never have. However I'm having a problem with dualcorns right now. I think they're called gnats, insects, whatever. There must be 20 of them on my computer screen right now, I'm getting tired of killing them. I could probably survive for a day if I ate them. Ah well, I guess things are starting to ramp up in the desert Southwest. Saw a snake trail today.

    Ebay? I thought the rainbow erasers were on Amazon? Either way it appears someone skilled at some photo shop has to use them. Everyone keeps talking about photo shop and I cant find anywhere called photo shop.
