dont know if any of you guys noticed the pinstripes on my car or not, but i took them off last night and washed her up today. here's a before picture:



and after

 

I like it !

 

how did you take it off ?

 

took a hair dryer to them and heated them up a bit and slowly peeled them off. then i used rubbing alcohol to get rid of the left over glue. then used buffing compound to get rid of the marks from the alcohol. then after that i waxed it up real nice

 

thanks after i get my car backfrom the trans shop then ill do it

 

Nice job! Im planning on taking mine off soon

 

I actually noticed the pinstripe on your car. And I liked it.

 

so did i, but i photoshopped them off, and i liked that too, so i figured i'd give it a try. i can always put them back on whenever i feel like it, it only took me like 25minutes to put em' on anyways

 

Damn I love your car. It is absolutely great-looking. Keep it nice!

 

Be careful when you take off pinstripes! There could be some underlying body work/ paint issues. Some paint shops will only paint to the pinstripe to save on paint. Especially when a collision occurred. You should be able to see/feel if they did this.

 

this is true, so guys if you decide to do this be careful! luckily i have the ability of a steady hand and could re pin stripe it myself if need be, but if you guys have any problems with it it could be a costly mistake

so just be cautious guys

 

for next time (or for anyone else) there is a great product you can buy at wal-mart or anywhere else called "goo gone". removes all goo with no harm to any color or paint, etc. works on everything.

 

3M also makes a strip removal tool, it's a circle thing that attaches to a drill i believe, i hear it works great but i've never tried it before

 

I actually kinda liked the pinstripe! Your car looks beautiful regardless though...

 

WD40 works too. especially on stickers.

 

3M's eraser wheel....works great-it takes of striping,and residue,just leaving behind rubber shavings-like an eraser.....easily washed off,then wax over it.Any paint and body shop carries them,also any place that carries detailing supplies(or I should say the people who supply the detailers).....Napa also sells these(at least they did)...with or without the fitting for a drill.........
