pinstripe removal
hey... i'm attempting to remove a pinstripe from my car... i was told to "treat it like a bumper sticker" and it'll be fine... but it sure is taking one heck of a long time. any suggestions? (ive done the adhesive removal thing btw)

using a blow dryer does work, or you could try rubbing with soap and water, or I've heard using goo gone, and then using blow dryer works really well too.

i also removed my pinstripe. Use blow dryer, goo gone, and bumper sticker remover spray (similar to goo gone). I then used my fingernails until i finally got it all off. My pinstripe was 6 years old so it was harder than yours might be.

I just peeled mine right off then waxed it to get rid of the marks the machine made when putting it on.

I was told that some stripes were acyually painted on. But a body shop could remove them, even it they were painted.

ok, sorry to sound real stupid but u r talking about the little stripethat runs down the sides of the car right. I jus need to clarify before i go out and start using all these products on my car. i want to get rid of mine bad and a shop told me they would have to basicly shave it off and repaint the area cause it was baked on or something. so what u guys are saying is that if i use a hair dryer and some goop off i can remove it myself without causing any damage to my paint. if thats true i will be getting some goop off tomorrow. cause i hate that dam stripe. thanks for the info.

Paint fades over time, no way of avoiding that. On a car that's at least 3 years old, removing the pinstripes will leave you with a line that is a different shade of your paint color. The older the car the worst the color difference. Also happens if you leave a bra on your car for years. Something to keep in mind.

Re: pinstripe removal
Use the back of a breadknife (NOT the cerrated edge) and tons of QD and scrape with gentle force. It came off pretty quickly. Or if you don't want to risk scratches, use a credit card of some sort.

Please tell me that with a name like stupidhead, you brought back a nearly 5 YEAR OLD thread with your first post as a joke.

Re: pinstripe removal
Pay attention to thread dates, don't bring back dead threads. 5 years old, is waaayyy beyond a dead thread.
