i was wondering the best way to remove these, especially really old ones. I got the front half removed bc half the car was repainted and they were still newish. but the back half is dried out and hard as a rock.

For the front i used an adhesive removal spray and plastic scraper (still left scratches though)

any suggestions would be great.

 

i can help my name is Tj call me at 8132173022 and i can explain the process..

 

Eraser tool would be the easiest way.But lacquer thinner and a plastic razor blade is a cheap way,but you might need to buff out the scratches.

 

Grab a spray bottle with soap and water, gently with a razor glide it carefully taking it off little by little. Or you can buy an eraser, hooks up to a drill and it erases the stripe. Then use lacquer thinner to clean the glue residue.

 

I would agree with 351Coupe, hit up a local paint supply store and ask for an "eraser tool" and they will give this little rubber wheel you attach to a drill. Its designed to remove stripes without hurting the paint. You still may want to use a light polish or something afterwards. good luck!

 

wow thanks, i had no idea about this tool. im gonna look into it this weekend...

 

what, easy off oven cleaner, spray it on and wipe if off, and doesn't damage paint

 

We removed our painted on stripe with this liquid we got from the dealership. It didnt even mess up our paint. I still have some left if you would like or my fiance can remove it for u

 

Your probably talking about mineral spirits or alcohol of some sort. Some pinstripes peel off real easy, others are cracked real bad which makes them difficult. Thats when the wheel is needed or preferred anyhow.

 

Astro pneumatic eraser wheel around 15 bucks.
