Removing Paint
Choose the required nozzle and fit onto the heat outlet. Select the scraper or shavehook required. Hold the gun with the nozzle approximately 50mm (2”) from the surface of the paintwork and starting with the lower heat setting move it slowly backwards and forwards until the paint blisters and bubbles. Immediately remove the paint with the scraper or shavehook. Aim to heat the paint just ahead of the scraper so that you can develop a continuous action. Do not heat the paint for too long, as this will burn the paint making it difficult to remove.
Most stickers can also be removed from paintwork by using the heat to soften the adhesive. Be careful not to direct the heat for too long if you are trying just to remove the stickers, as this will blister the paint.
