Pinstripes There are currently beige pinstripes on my car. Im thinking about taking them off. If i do how bad will you be able to tell there was a pinstripe there? And wat would be the easiest way to take them off?
If they are anything like the pinstripes I take off of cars daily at the body shop, and I think they would be.....you won't be able to tell anything was there, it's a sticker. It will take patience and goo-gone or any type of good adhesive remover that is safe on paint. We use a tool that is like a big eraser on a dremel type tool. If you're lucky, it may come off with nothing, just your fingernails grabbing one edge and very slowly taking it off.
I hate pinstripes. First thing to go on any car I buy. Eraser wheel is the best thing to use. As long as your car has been well taken care of, you shouldn't be able to notice they were there. But if you can (and if it's not too bad) just buff your car and that should help.
I use the 3M (adhesive cleaner/remover)stuff cause that's what we had at work it's probably expensive since it's 3M but if you want it you could get it at any auto body supply store. You can get goo gone just about anywhere home depot walmart etc, but I have never used that on automotive finishes before. It should be ok just read the bottle to be sure.

That's weird, they carry in their stores where I live, try Home Depot, Lowe's, or Ace. You could also try going to their (goo gone's) web site to see where it is carried in your area.
