Unsightly pinstripes...

PINK. yes, the pinstripes on my FC are PINK. i must get them off immeadiately. ive read that a hairdryer and a flathead work well but i tried that and its not coming off clean. You guys got any suggestions for me? ill upload some pics of the defacing pinstripes later.

if you can get the sticker off some gas on a rag is good for removing adhesive goo.

I used a suggestion posted on this forum to remove the residual glue after I used a hair dryer to to get a college parking sticker off the rear bumper. WD-40 and rub hard. It worked and no apparent effect on the paint.

Try looking fro a product called goo-gone. comes in a tin much like the 3-in-1 oil does, and works like a champ. Most auto parts stores carry it, and I believe I saw it in the automotive section at Wal-Mart as well.

Good luck removing those abominations!

Goo gone should do the trick unless they used super glue. Then you'll need epoxy remover.
