Would a heat-gun suffice or should I spring for some type of stripping agent, does anyone have some suggestions?

whats the sideart?
Ive stripped many O' cabs and have had mixed and different results
some vinyl/sideart will just peel right off. while others are more stubborn
requiring a heatgun, or citrus strip.
I've been dealing with the same thing for a few days here, i used rubbing alcohol and wiped it down really well with a damp towel. it worked pretty well but still requires a good amount of elbow grease.
All the original vinyl side art was already removed before i got it just some sticky residue left over. the heat gun is definitely the way to go.
I was looking for a more lazy mans way of removing it tho so last stop to the local home depot i picked up MostenBocker's Lift Off Tape Remover. it worked fairly well but still required some elbow grease like the alcohol and i can still see some residue so i'm going to hit it again (i wiped it down with wet towel just like the alcohol).
I have a big container of Denatured Alcohol (from a recent room i painted, and i wanted to try it out on cleaning pcb's) but i'm not quite ready to put it on my painted cab as it removes Latex Paint quite easily. if anyone can tell me it works well otherwise let me know.
The Paint on my Spiderman cab is 98% original (minus a couple touch up spots). Tighe it looked like that acetone took everything off down to the bare wood is that the case? also sent you a PM last night (donno if u got it).
cool just making sure, goo gone sucks, leaves such a greasy/oily surface, goof off worked well for me on other things (non arcade related). I'll look into the acetone.
i saw your giant gob of snot lol
Heat gun and putty knife FTW.
Heat gun and putty knife FTW.
I'm going to paint it Capcom Blue. Thanks for the tips I was just going to just sand it but Ill hit it with acetone first.
So I tried Acetone and it didn't seem to work. Am I supposed to let it sit put a shitload on ect?
