    Sort of O-T, But I Suppose Not

    How do you remove a pinstripe? When I bought the Accord, it came with a hideous red pinstripe that would look better without it. From what I understand all you really need is a blow dryer, and then something to remove the glue.

    Is that all? And what would you suggest to remove the glue? Thanks.

    Ya know, make sure you know what you are getting into before you start. My next door neighbor owned my car before me and hes a meticulous son of a *****. I'm pretty sure that he had the pinstripes PAINTED on instead of a decal because no matter how hot i heat them, i cant get under the damn things and the little tiny 16th of an inch i managed to scrape off looked like paint instead of tape. Be aware. . .

    on my hatchy, while i was taking mine off, i got the pas. rear fender and the pinstripe was clear coated on, it was weird, only like 6inches of the pinstripe was like that, looks ok though, you can see where the clearcoat came off alittle, but im getting a new paint job whenever i can, but the pinstripe was there so long that underneath the stripe the paint wasnt faded so i have "ghost stripes"
