I am going to have to remove my door molding to get my new numbers applied to my car. CMC requires 18" numbers and applying over the contours of the doors and molding is next to impossible (I already ruin one set of numbers). The shop manual talks about using a heat gun. Anyone ever done this? Any pitfalls? Any recommendations for a cheap/effective heat gun?
