I've done this on every bike I’ve owned, and may of the cars and trucks, right off the lot.

If it is a better gun,, yes,, you cold blister the paint.. Just use some common sense. Hotter then a blow dryer, cooler then melting your skin ..LOL

Re: Removing Stickers?
You can also try some of the citrus based cleaners/removers.... I used GooGone to take the ugly hot pink stickers off my Katana a few years ago.... I found the best method is to get an edge up gently with your finger nail and try to soak the underside with the Goo-Gone/Citrus stuff... then keep peeling, then soaking, on and on....
I'm sure heat will work better, but if you don't want to go there, this method might help you..... I'd also test whatever you use on the backside or unseen painted area before using it, just incase....

I found the hair dryer works OK. Too hot,though, and it weakens the decal and it breaks while unpeeling it. The big problem for me was getting the glue residue off. Found out from a forum like this one that WD-40 works great on the glue-goo and didn't hurt my paint. Hope this helps

Re: Removing Stickers?
Just heat the sticker with a heat gun enough to soften it and peel it off, then use rubbing alcohol to clean of the residue. Too much heat will ruin the paint or warp plastic if your removing it from a fairing. When your done just repolish the area and it'll look fine.
