After years of being on this forum and reading about removing pinstripes I finally took the plunge, and every one is correct, it does look better.
I was sitting in my garage yesterday watching some football and the Phillies win, and of course drinking beer because that's when all me crazy ideas come to me, and I decided to do it.
Tried using a hair dryer but it wouldn't get the adhesive loose enough so I used a small propane torch on so low that any lower the flame would go out. Yeah I know every one is probably thinking I'm an idiot, which I won't argue with you about that, but it worked great. Couple hours later a 12 pack and some goo gone afterwards and it looks great. I feel like crap this morning sitting at work since I made another beer run after the 12 pack but it was well worth it. Finally purchased a clay bar to. I have yet to use it. Next weekend is looking good.

 

im currently removing my "pinstripe flames" im using a pinstripe eraser. works great but the batterys on the drill hate it.

 

nice!!

I JUST last night removed my barbed wire pinstripes...and absolutely love the look now. When I put them on like 4 years ago, everything matched...now i'm all dark and black looking, so silver stripes didn't really match anymore.

 

I seen that awhile back and decided not to use it for some reason.

The truck just has cleaner lines now without the stripes.

 

no pics?

 

SOON!

 

 

ya JT, post yours and ill post mine

 

I'll be working late everyday this week so i won't be able to until this weekend. But I'll get them up.

before

after

 

looks so much nicer those flames looked horrible. who puts flames on a truck haha good choice on takin them off man :) how long did it take you anyways?

 

probably bout an hour and a half with one of those pinstripe erasers that you put on the end of a drill. 3M makes a really good one. it doesnt damage the paint either.

 

That looks darn good. I like that shade of blue.

 

thanks man. its paint code k7, or bright atlantic blue. IMO a sweet factory color.

 

yup love that color

 

x2!

Not quite as good as KE lapis blue though!!

I wonder how close it is to lapis blue actually.

 

Everyone knows sonic blue is the best

 

everyone knows peanute butter and jelly is the best:)

 

kyle, its not peanut butter and jelly time...

 

Can't see them that well in these pics, taken at night.
