taking off pin stripes

[Neuspeed007]

when i bought my car the old man had pinstripes on the sides, and my friend told me i should take a blow dryer and heat them up and take them off, but i still thought i should come to this forum and ask about it...
so whats the best way to take them off withougt hurting the paint job.??????

thx

just keep in mind that the paint under the stripes isn't gonna match the rest of the car. all the years of wear take a toll. i started to take my stripes off, but it looked really goofy.

Here is what I did. I actually didn't even use a hair dryer. I just peeled with my nails for a couple hours. In some spots I got like 3ft at once. After I was done, yes there was the 2 lines all the way around. I waxed my car and that took a lot of it out, but the lines were still there. But you don't really notice them so it's no biggie. But mine are gone now since my new paintjob. I like pinstripes, but it looks much cleaner without them.

Think of the leftover stripes at ghost stripes

tonight i started on a project, what im doin is blowdrying the stripes and taking them off, in large peices, then im using some goo-be-gone, i got from walmart and getting rid of the stikery crap.

so if you got alot of time on your hands, just get some supplies and take off these damn stripes!

later guys!

I took mine off when the car was four years old. Since mine is white the paint difference was negligible. Of course I waxed the car four times a year since new. I did look a whole hell of a lot better without the pin stripes, though.
