Uh, just use spray on graffiti remover, available at any big box store. Do not use a razor blade.

I just used paint stripper. I sprayed it on, waited a few minutes and then used a rubber blade and it wiped right off. I used a sponge to get in the nooks while wearing rubber solvent gloves. Washed it off with water, dried it off with a MF towel and it came out great. Only took 30mins from removal to reinstall.

i used a razor blade, had it like at a 10% angle and scraped, i was careful, mine came out mint....but this was done be4 the graffiti remover was discovered....once the clear was off, paint was exposed and the thinner took it off, comes off easier when the clear was removed
