Re: Removing Pinstripe

Take a hairdryer and warm up the stripe. It should just peel off.

I have pinstripes on my car, but the left side is baked on. I have the right one off. How can I get the left one off? I have tired so hard trying to rub it off, but it won't. Can I use a paint thinner, or nail polish remover?

I just did mine. Get the stripes really hot with a hair dryer before you peel. It leaves a lot less residue and wont break the sripe as often. I used a clay bar to remove the remaning residue.
