You need a good heat gun, but the hair dryer may work if you let it sit in one area for a few seconds on a high heat setting. It is a fine line before you start to burn the paint. It is going to take a little heat, just be careful. When you are able to pill the edge up. Start preheating the area behind the edge and continue heating as you pull back. You could also use a razerblade :eek: but be very :yesnod: :bb careful. If you lay the blade flat on it side, hold it with your thumb and pointer finger and slide under the edge. You should be able to pill the edge up as you slide the blade along the paint. You could do this first and once you can pull the edge up use the heat gun to heat as you pull. You might have to rub and buff the area where the tape was. Good luck

Autobody stores carry a spray used to aid in stripping pinstrip off... I'd imagine it would work just fine on the hash marks.

3M makes a paint safe adhesive remover. I used it on the 85 to remove the adhesive holding on the wind deflectors after one broke. It took it up pretty well and didn't hurt the paint.
