How to get rid of pin stripe??????
Hey guys. I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of that factory stripe on both sides of my car. Besides taking it to a dealer. Anyone know how much dealers charge to get rid of them?

Wait til it's a hot day, get a blow dryer, put it on hot and just concentrate on every bit of the pinstripe and chip it off w/ your nails. I'm already startin at about a centimeter a day

ah yes i forgot about that. As I recall, someone got back to the passenger side door and there was some clear coat or another stripe and it left a lil dent there, so be careful. That's why I was worried about mine and doing it slowly

Someone on the FA site suggested fishing line for sticker removal. Not sure if will work for the stripes, but I'm going to try it soon.

3M makes a pin stripe removal tool. it's a rubber wheel that acts like a eraser for the stripe.

Tried 3M adhesive remover (spray type) and it helped the stripe come off easily but it still left some of the adhesive behind. Used a lot of patience with a razor blade and the spray to get the rest off.

BTW - If I would've used the hair dryer for the entire car, I would still be out there f'n with it. I ended up taking a razor blade and VERY carefully ran it just behind the pin stripe. It worked great, and got the pin stripes off the whole car in about 15 - 20 minutes. Then I used some kind of chemical my neighbor gave me to take the glue off.
You can still see where the pin stripes used to be, but only if you look close.
