best way to remove vinyl pinstripes from a car ?
 

any suggestions ?

goof off or goo-b-gone
(yes those are the product names)

but i don't think its safe for the paint

goo-gone as well

pour a gallon or kerosene all over your car and light it with a BBQ lighter (for safety) :thumbsup

You could try pressure-washing them off....

A heat gun

my cars been sitting in the sun so the pinstripes are soft and its peeling off easily but SLOWLY and it leaves behind adhesive residue :/

i have some 'goo gone' type stuff to help remove the residue, hopefully it wont fuck up my paint. im going to put it on a rag and use it like that, not directly spray the shit on my car.

this is TEDIOUS

is there no faster way ?

at this rate its going to take like 9 hours

use your face.

haha.

If the pinstripes are on a newer car, you can usually heat it up with a hair dryer and they pull off pretty easy in one piece (work slowly!). If the car is older it may be more difficult. After the pinstripes are off use 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner to remove any sticky residue, it works great and WON'T damage the paint! :thumbsup

:)

hair dryer.

thanks for all the input

just add more pinstripes till the car is covered, then that's your color

yup
 

then rubbing alcohol

goo gone, i used it to take off all my badges.

heat gun / lacquer thinner

Hair dryer and a plastic spatula, then use the googone to get the glue off.

use a heat to peel back the remaining pin stripes and use vegetable oil to remove the sticky residue. the veggi oil is safe on the paint and washes off with no problems.

you can thank me later.

Just buy a new car. One without pin stripes.

steel wool pads

Bug gut remover might work safer.

thats what I was gonna recommend. use a hair dryer or something and heat it up, slowly peel off. then rubbing alcohol should get the sticky adhesive off. :thumbsup

you are a genius! thanks for asking! :winkwink:

me and girlfriend of mine just picked at a corner of the stripes and started peeling away. took like 30 mins.

thanx everyone

hairdryer + goo gone worked

gotta heat up the pinstripes and then slowly peel them off then use the goo gone and scrub hard to get the residue off.

it took me like 2 fucking hours!

it looks oh so much better now :upsidedow
