I wouldn't get a razor blade scraper or heat gun any place near the paint job.
You'd be supprised how quickly the heat gun will bubble and lift the paint off
a vechile.
The razor blade scraper will cut and peel the paint also.
So remove both of these from concideration.
I agree with what others have said:
1. try talking to a auto paint supply house and aske them what they'd
recommend.
2. the vinyl eraser looks promisiong.
