Default Need guidence on how to remove a wrap from a 4pk

I picked up a used Futaba radio that had a wrap on it. I was told the wrap had been on it since the first week of ownership. Unfortunately when I tried to pull off the first sticker all the writing identifying the buttons came off with the sticker so I stopped.

Wondering if anyone might have some suggestions on how to remove the rest of the stickers without loosing the printed text on the radio or am I out of luck here?

I thought the radio's buttons had molded in identification. If not then you're out of luck because any method will pull off the print. Try using a hair dryer to warm and soften up the adhesive, this may leave the adhesive on the radio then you'll need something like Goof-Off to remove it and the printing as well.

Hmm after taking a look at 4pks' on the net, I don't think there really is a problem with you losing the words, unless you mind OR you're going to sell this in the future. There are literally 4 buttons for the photos I see, other than the joystick, and the power switch.

thanks.. I was afraid of that.. I'll try using some heat. Maybe I'll have better luck with that. Then I can look for a wrap that labels the buttons?

I just did it to mine! No problems! It was used to and I decided just to take a chance. Only a little resadue from the adhesive but with a little Goof Off it cleaned it right up. No heat guns, just started at one corner and went for it. Go for it!
