heat it up very carefully then just peel it off. use t-cut or similar to remove any excess stickyness

Lol, Thats exactly how I did mine, only I used a Matalan card

The badges left no marks at all but the rubbing strips have left a small pale-ish line, not where the sticky was, but where the hollow in the strip was. I'm waiting for the good weather o I can T-cut it.

broster: so once Tcutted... do the marks ever come back?

I mean does the paint fade at different speeds where the strips were?
