Is a heat gun the best way to remove swim deck labels?

I need to remove them all to fit my name graphic

I used a heat gun on low to remove the warning labels and the hull graphics on mine. Hit them with a little heat and they come right off. Too much heat and the shrivel up and and break. On the right setting, you can peel them off in one piece. I removed it all to remove the oxidation from the hull. Some have had success, on newer models, by parking the surface facing the sun and using a hair dryer on high. I did mine when it was 45° inside my arena, winter storage barn.



Sorry for the pic of a dirty hull...it is clean now.

Graphics are next. They are plain. On the 17 212 Ltd S black, they are small silver and bronze graphics. Boring.

I added Neon Yellow "high output" and Twin Engine" from a 2016 212X (happened to be right color). I want to do something neon Yellow on the plain black boat.... dunno what yet.
