Just De-Pinstriped My Max

So I just took off the gold pin stripe on my sage mist green max.
Let me tell you how it went.

It was pretty hot out, and decided to start w/ the driver side. It just peeled right off. Cleaned off the excess residue, and wahlaa, looks real pretty.

Now as you could have guessed, when I did the passenger side, it was a disaster. Took me about 2 hours, and I had to use a paint scraper.
Such a pain in the A**.

But now looking at the car, it was worth it.
Later,
Mike

i took my gold pin stripes off the other day. I washed the car very well and u can still where the line was. Maybe wax will help. Waxing ='s moving. Moving ='s work. Moving- not gonna happen for awhile.

Personally, I think it should be an option to put pinstripes on a car! Luckily, my Max didn't come with them on.
