Yep, for sure not a new trick, but why no posts about it here?

Agreed. Stickers can peel and look tacky (pun). Ha!

Depends entirely upon what the grill is painted with. If you don't know, some tests are in order. Mineral spirits are about as harmless as it gets for solvents, but still might affect the grill paint if it was done on the cheap. too many variables to say without testing first.
