my vinyl stripes are cracking like crazy, how do I remove them? I've heard a heat gun, how difficult is it and what is the procedure? I've ran a search and havn't found 2 much.

 

Not that complicated, just time consuming. Heat it up and start peeling. Do small area's though. Also try to find a PLASTIC scraper to help you peel it. Once the decal is off try to find some 3M adhesive remover - apply it (spray bottle) and depending how much adhesive is left, let it sit for a minute or two and scrape it again. Then you may want to apply some to a rag and wipe the whole area. Don't scrape to hard though so you don't scratch the paint! When done buff it, wax it & drive it. Good Luck!

 

you can also use one of those rubber wheels made by 3M you put it on a drill and it removes the stripe and the glue behind it all in one process. hit up your nearest automotive detailing store for one of those

 

Just remember that heat guns can remove paint, so keep it moving if you use it.

 

Thanks for the help fellas I worked on them today using a hair dryer. It worked fairly well, but it's taking me forever and the hair dryer burns like hell. Where's a good place I can get some new stripes that won't crack so soon?

 

Paint them on. I bought a pin striping brush, and if I decide to put mine back on after I remove them, Ill just paint them on. If you need a straight line, use the painters tape.
