Anyone know how to remove paint stripes without damaging paint and/or leaving stripe shadows?

 

get a hair dryer set it high and blow on it for a few minutes and use your nails to get it off. after that buy some goo off and wripe off the adhives.
hope that helps. did it to my and it looks way better.

 

I removed mine with a hairdryer and naptha oil (found at any hardware store). Heated the stripes with the hairdryer, poured on a little naptha and peeled em right off. Worked really well, then I cleaned, polished and waxed to get rid of the shadow.

 

Use a buffer with a contractor grade compound, then polish it, like magic!

 

Man... I wished I posted a post about this, me and my friend did mine last Friday, the fender line came off within a minute, there on it took 3 hours... all with the nail. Than goo gone to wash away the glue... hey no damaged paint or no shadows so its all good.

 

Just to clear things up, I was talking about a painted-on stripe, not the tape-type. Is that the same one you are talking about?

 

painted on stripe i think u need to have them wet sand it off, then reapply clear coat, i was gonna do the same, but it seems like its under my clear coat on one of my fenders, the rest is a sticker, so it sucks

i tried gettin estimate at body shop to remove it , they say its not worth it, its will cost almost the same as painting whole car, then again he is a ripoff anyway and could just be sayin it?

 

Ooooh, I was talking about the tape-type, either way good luck removing your painted stripe.

Can I use nail-polish remover (acetone) on the stripe without harming the paint?
