so, i've got the two little pinstripes things on the side of my car and i need to get rid of em. i think i read something not long ago about a couple people that have done that. i'm just wondering how to get em off safely without damaging the paint underneath.
thanks |

I don't know what year your car is but mine is a 94 and my pinstripes were just asking to come off. It still required me to be as gentle as possible, I just used a warm rag and slowly peeled off like a sticker and everytime it snapped had to start again using my nail, wasn't too tough and you can only notice pinstriping was there ever so slightly (cause of the paint fade from the stripes covering up the paint) but I think it looks a lot better now.
