Just pull harder! The supersonic sticky tape will surely snap before the paint coming off... had the same problem... went flying across the drive when it did give way!

Suppose you could heat the plate up a bit to try and soften the double sided tape - it works for badges so you never know :)

Had the same prob, I got round it by using a heat stripper thing youd use to get paint off window frames. Its easy as long as you dont want to use the old number plates again as they tend to warp a bit!!!
