yeah i wanna know to, mine is actually painted on top of the clear coat.
i cant get anything off

 

use a heat gun.

 

aka a blow dryer

 

When I did it, it took hella long because I did my while it was snowing, and it was cold as hell. The best time to do it is when its hot. Use a blow dryer or adhesive remover or both and I used a plastic spackle I had laying around which is great for scraping the pinstriping off of the body and not messing up the paint. And thats it. Heat then scrape. I will come off very easy.

 

A hair dryer and Sticker remover works wonders. I used that and my finger nail.

 

hairdryer+bug&tar remover=satisfaction guranteed

 

oneof my friends found this rubber pad that goes in a drill, took it off and didnt hurt the paint. i think it was at autozone or something

 

I would be Very Leary of using anything that is powered on the surface of my car!

 

I used a blow dryer, some Goof Off, my fingernail, and about 2 hours of my afternoon. Wipe a small area down with the Goof Off then blow dry it (it also works if its a hot afternoon, makes it even easier) and then use your fingernail. Repeat until it is all gone. After this is done use the Goof Off to remove any left over glue...make sure to wash and wax your car after this because you will notice where you used the Goof Off (it will take off your wax along with the sticky ****).

 

My friend used the same thing, worked like a charm! Didn't do **** to the paint.....just use common sense and go slow....

 

which one? did he use it for painted pinstripe?
let me know cause i really hate my pinstripe

 

I've used one. It's like a big eraser (seriously, it is just like a pencil eraser). It does a real good job of getting the stripe off, and usually doesn't leave any glue either.

 

ive used the rubber disc on a drill ... it is made by 3M it works excellent... leaves NO damage to your paint and removes the pinstripe like nothing...

power washer on my friends car...came off really fast lol

 

$30 at a body shop for me. I really didnt feel like doing it.

 

"the big eraser" is a pinstripe removal tool, that's what I used, took less than 5 minutes. The wheels can be bought at any auto body supply shop. If you buy one be careful, it's very easy to burn through your paint.

 

Can someone tell me the make and model of the big eraser?
I went to autozone, pepboys and home depot and couldnt find it.
Would someone be willing to sell one to me?

 

Wait until summer, and on a sunny day with your car sitting out in the sun for half the afternoon...it'll take you 5 minutes, guaranteed. Lift an end, and go all the way! It won't even rip!

That's how I did mine... then besure to use some sealant or wax along where you had the pinstripe.
