How do I remove old wood grain dash 'stickers'?

[tnltracy]

Hey all, see pictures below. I have a 79 Cuddy that has very faded and worn stickers with wood grain look that just need to go on the dashes. Picture is port side only, but have similar across the gauge area that I want to remove.

As you can see, I started with a paint scraper, but clearly I need something more to get down to the gelcoat. Any suggestions on how to get these off? They are very sun baked and hard, but still pretty well on there.

I have some paint stripper, intended for stripping wood furniture, but not sure if that may damage the gelcoat. My goal is to just have the gelcoat exposed as the dash area.

By the way, note the fully installed windshield, what a hack that was before, held in with 5200 only...
