I recently just bought a 91 Integra LS and just for a future note base on repainting ...

What's the best way to remove the 2 stripes that runs from rear to the front fender side sticker? (Not that I want to remove it, just nice to know for repainting purpose later on) Is there anyway to do this without harming the clear coat/paint itself?

What I noticed is that, I'm not 100% sure if the stock sticker is Black color, but mines is a little dark blue but little portion of the blue is stripping off which then lays a black layer on it, Was the black layer the original color?

Thanks in advance

 

Pin stripes are a dealer add-on.

 

That answers my second part of the question what about the best way to remove that without harming the clear coat?

 

Your finger nails? that's how I took mine off.

 

Use a blow dryer and peel them off, it will leave a little sticky stuff behind. I forgot what I bought to remove the adhesive tho.

 

Try a razor blade and get under it enough to peel it off

wow razor blade is a no, you can use your finger nail most of the time to peel the ends up. Im telling you, use a hair blower heat up the pin strip and it will peel off.

I have a red integra and I tried taking mine off, it left a black line from the adhesive or what not? anyway to get rid of?

 

Good information on the part about heating up the stripe with a blow dryer.

But it seems like the black adhesive isn't going to be easy taking off.
Some of the blue top sticker is peeling off which leaves me to see black adhesive sticking on fine.

EDIT:
Where might I be able to get GOO GONE at?
Is there any local stores that sells it? Or would I need to order it online o.O

 

you can get GOO Gone at home depot..

 

i waited for a hott day an took my finger nail too it. then i went over it with some goo gone

 

This is how i got mine off... Put the goo gone on, let it sit 5min. Get a blow dryer and a plastic putty knife. Heat the pin stripe up at the back where it meets the hatch and gently push it up with the putty knife. I did mine in sections because the goo gone kept running and drying up.

 

Lose that gold whatever the hell that is as well while you're at it!
