search yields 0. whats the easiest way to get rid of this gayness. i keep hereing the razorblade thing but that didn't bode too well on my old camry when i did it. any other ideas on getting rid of these?

 

If they are tape pinstripes they yes razorblade is way to go. Must be sharp and keep at an angle so you don't scratch. You can use wd-40 to get the glue off.

If's its paint you are out of luck.

 

Actually, search yields 1.

Here is a thread about removing pinstripes. The bottom line is that the razor blade method isn't the best - there is actually a pinstripe removal tool - take a look!

Personally, I'd get a quote from a body shop before I started messing with the paint myself. I'd hate to spend a weekend ******* up my paint only to find that $100 would have got the gayness professionally removed!

Good luck!

 

3M pinstripe removal wheel

 

Depends how you define best-cost, speed, results?

No one answered the paint or tapepin stripe question.

Has anyone used this 3m eraser?

Luckily I have not had to do this in a long time but in the 80's I removed many a pinstripe with razor blade and wd-40. Fast, cheap, excellent results.

 

off to exterior (to once again join the other threads on pin stripe removal).

 

I have used the 3M wheel on taped pinsript applications, works fast, follow it up with a 3M Trim and Adhesive remover wipedown.

 

i'm retarded, i didn't split the word. i searched pinstripe removal. thanks a ton guys. hope autozone has one of those wheels. maybe pepboys.

 

you get an *** award. and a salad slicer.

 

try your local autobody supply store or online at www.autobodysupply.com

 

i just borrowed the heatgun from work. i just have to be careful not to melt the paint off.

 

suggestion: non-acetate nail polish remover if goo gone doesnt get all the nasty sticker off, and a plastic wedge type razor blade. just needs a bit of buffing afterwards.

 

Before you remove the tape I would double check to make sure there isnt a old paint repair that is hardlined to a pin stripe, thats a common auto body trick especially for a used car lot that doesnt want to pay alot of money to fix a panel, so they paint half of it and install the $2 pinstripes.

 

Good point Rob
