I would assume you do this outside ? My insurance provider would frown on
doing something like this within 50 feet of the house or garage. I'm almost
tempted to try it and cause a spark and see what happens :-)

A hot air gun and naphtha (lighter fluid) are my first choices.
Lighter fluid and hardware store naphtha may have contaminates so
purer options are heptane or Bestine Solvent and Thinner which is used
for rubber cement and commonly available. Plastic safe contact
cleaner for switches is another source.
I had problems with hot water causing the Tektronix paint to peel in
some cases.
Ha! Amazon's page for Bestine even says:
"EASILY REMOVE LABELS ¨C Using this solvent, you will be able to
effortlessly remove stickers, labels and decals without leaving behind
and messy residue."

Naptha, or lighter fluid does a good job, and is
mild on paints and plastics.
Hot air will often allow you to peel off a sticker
more or less intact, but will usually leave the
stickum behind... which you will still have to
remove with something like lighter fluid.

A far too common problem I have no solution for yet:
What will remove sticker residue on Tek blue paint without harming the
paint
finish?
...
Would boiling water soften the sticker residue and leave the paint
alone or
would it siften the paint as well.
Suggestions are welcome.
