pinstripe/decal removal.

missfire · 14-05-11, 02:40 PM

hello, any experts on this subject? my pinstripes are falling off anyway and i don't think that are factory somehow.

i suspect that they may be hiding a seam created by a lower half respray but maybe not, hope not! would like to see what this 100 turbo looks like without them, probably better!

doing it without damaging the paint is what i'm wondering about. they peel off easy enough but are leaving behind either glue or, other, older pinstripes underneath.

thanks for any input.

Hair dryer initially to get the sticker off and use a tar and glue remover to get rid of the residue! Autosmarts Tardis is ideal for this.

Not one of the most fun jobs in the world. I normally use either a kettle of really hot water, or a plastic wine demijohn full of hot water, on the roof, with a plastic pipe running down so the water flows where you want it. (wastes less water than kettle). Burns your fingers though.
