removing paint from factory stickers
Does anyone have a reliable way to get paint off door jamb and radiator core support stickers. My car was repainted and they just painted over them. :/ I'm affraid to try anything for fear of losing them. I figured some of y'all had encountered this and might have some suggestions. Thanks in advance!

On my DPS cars I used masking tape. Wrapped around my finger and dabbed at the paint with the sticky part.

decals
There is a 5.0 website, I'll try to find it and send a link, they sell all of those decals. Unless you absolutly want the original ones.
Seems easier then removing hardened auto paint. Most chemicals you'll use to try to remove it will remove the ink on the decal. Sort of lame the body shop would do that.

A solvent (paint thinner, WD-40, etc.) can be used on the door sticker with no harm. That sticker is covered with a clear sheet, so the solvent won't affect the ink. Only if something has leaked beneath the sheet and gotten to the sticker itself will it be damaged.

I have used WD-40 before, with a shop rag. It takes lots of rubbing, as WD-40 is not that aggressive towards cured paint.
