Well, i have a 96 max with a green and teal pinstripe and its under the clear coat.. wow it looks butt! I was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it or hide it some how with sumthing better? any suggestions feel free... thanks..

 

You sure its under the clear coat? Mine had silver pinstriping and I was able to peel it off.

 

yeah it is ive tryed and tryed there is nothing i can think of to help it

 

The hairdryer method abled me to peel off the rubber striping easily, but underneath it was a stripe that's painted on. I've used oven cleaner EZ-Off and a plastic scraper to get the painted stripes off. I think it is harmful to the paint if you leave that stuff on for too long. But at the time I was desperate and would try anything. I've heard wetsanding then repolishing might work also.

 

Factory pinstripes for 4th gens are painted on (from what I was told). A friend of mine does body work, and I was gonna replace a fender and he told me that he'd have to hand paint the stripe back on.

 

mines was not painted on, i just used a hair dryer and peeled it off, than with the leftover residue i just goo gone the bish off, works like a charm.

 

i just had mine removed on my 96 I30....its not painted on mine, it was vinyl or something that was able to be peeled off....I just paid a paint shop 20 bucks to remove them and it looks great! Makes the car look much newer! If you get about 1 inch close to the car and really look you can see a faint outline, but its virtually invisible from any normal distance. Now for a question of my own....I just removed the I30 emblem and it left an a$$ load of adhesive to the car! I used a hair dryer and rubbed most of the large chunks off but there is still a lot off misc. little fragments....what can I use to remove the residues? Or should I just pay again (probably no more than 5 bucks) to have it buffed off?

 

i remember seeing something on the net,sayin to use a razorblade or something and just peel it off....I'll see if i can find the website for you.

 

so i guess us who have pinstripe that is painted on there is no way it will come off unless i got a paint job to cover it up... or i was thinkin of getting a crome pinstripe to go over top so i cud match that up with other crome ideas for my car...

 

My stripes were vinyl, and I was able to peel them off with just my nails, nothing else.

 

try goo gone or some other adhesive remover, theres alot of good product reviews in the detailing forum

 

noo.. razorblade on paint.. it's gonna scratch up your paintjob. you can use a razorblade on ur glass parts.. not the paint
