What's best way to remove them?
Sander? Filler? Or something else?
They're not particularly deep
Maybe half a millimeter at most
They're just from when I've taken them off and been blown about on floor

heat gun works wonders. i used the heat gun on my grey plastic arches, moving the gun at all times eventually turns it back to black. the plastic heated up too much tho and kinda poped outa shape so had to sit with a cloth for a while holding in in positon as it cooled down it held its shape.

I've seen the wonders a heatgun can do and i quite like the bubble effect
I think it looks a bit like a lizards skin :L
But its gotta go because of the scratches
