Most people use a rubber wheel on a grinder. Use a flat razor to take as much off as possible then use the rubber wheel to finish up. Works great. You should be done with it all in a half hour.

That 20 year old 3M double sided tape will be a royal pain to get off. Goo Gone helps, a plastic scraper helps, the rubber wheel in a drill helps, but be careful not to burn the paint with the rubber wheel, keep it moving.

Decal was prolly red once. But faded. So heat gun and gentle pulling until the decal was gone, then laquor thinner for the goo.
