is it possible to remove the stock pin stripe? if so how would it be done?

 

is it painted on?

 

idk it kind or seems like i could scratch it off but im afraid to scratch the paint

 

If it is painted its gunna be hard. when i took mine off i used rubbing alcohol and a piece of cloth, after i was done it left little scratches, but they can be buffed out. also you may still be able to see where the pinstriping was because the cars paint around it fades.

 

Also interested. So if it's just a decal alcohol and some elbow grease should work?

 

Mine was easy...I used a heat gun on low and just peeled a little as I heated ahead of it...came off in a matter of 5-10 minutes. The part that took longer was using Bug and Tar Remover to get the sticky crap off. That took me at least 20 minutes to make sure it was all off.

 

Sounds good. Thank you.

 

You can also use a pinstripe remover wheel but I dont have any experience with that.

 

the eraser wheel is a big rubber wheel that works w/ a drill. takes it off in a flash. I highly doubt ur stripe is painted on but i dunno. If u go w/ the wheel be careful lol

 

hair dryer, and thumb nail.

here are some before and after pics.

also Goo gone works on taking off the sticky ****.
STRIPE.

No STRIPE.

 

thanks all, i'll try it with a hair dryer in a few weeks

 

goo gone works really good as well!! i used it when i debadged my cobalt and the goo gone stuff will take it off really well also, u can get alil thing of it auto zone but i was at walmart tonight haha and there was a big bottle for $4.00 wtf!!! lol but anyways seriously it works pretty well to get the gunk off

 

man i have NO luck at all with goo gone, ive used a whole botle and a half on just one side of my car trying to get that **** off my door from the molding, and its STILL not off all the way

to the OP, get sum gasoline and put sum on a rag and rubb it on the glue and it will come off

 

lol, ok the way it worked for me is, is get one of those plastic putty knifes and get a terry towel, or a 100% cotton towel either one works and either squirt or spray depending on your bottle, onto the towel rub it first to get it on there and then take the flat side of the putty knife and gently(GENTLY) push it against it to take off the goo, and just repeat with the goo gone as much as needed lol and it will work promise!!!

 

I just peeled mine off one day in the parking lot.
The sun was beating on it all day. I just started peeling at one end and it came right off.
Mine was just a vinyl stripe.

 

i like mine lol this is how mine came



and the red strip on the rims, and so can you guess what color my car is on the inside lol haha
