    Hello, I have the Mopar Hood Pins installed on my car and would like to remove the plates that sticks onto the hood to have them painted and to have a wrap installed on the hood. What do I have to do to do this to avoid peeling paint off the hood? I can only find installation information on the internet. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

    I would try a little turtle wax label and sticker remover and a heat gun, and slowly pry it up slowly with a plastic pry tool

    Hair Dryer and fishing line while wearing gloves heat guns will warp the plastic plate and possible burn the paint.

    Try WD40 to remove any adhesive residue.
