Not really, If your paint work has slightly faded over the years I can imagine it being a lot 'fresher' than the rest of the paint though

Using a heat gun, or doing it on a very hot day is best, but this has been covered lots of times before, even in the budget mod thread. As someone else said, search first

I tried this earlier, my car had been sitting in the sun all morning then I still used a hair dryer to warm them up and it was an absolute nightmare getting the sticky stuff of afterwards,

So now I have 1 pillar with vinyl still on 1 with a load of sticky residue still on and some new vinyl on order
