Removing lame stripes

[BogEater]

Anyone had any good luck using a method to remove those pesky stripes on their trucks? I think mine look heinous and need to go.

useing a heat gun is the eastest and fastest way to do it. dont get your paint to hot.dont stay in one spot to long, once you get it worm it will peel right off. good luck.

Another way would be an eraser wheel.

You can get these online or at an autobody supply store, chuck it into a drill, or you can get a rotary tool for it. This should only be used on a basecoat/clearcoat paint though, not a single stage.

thanks guys ill try that heatgun method this weekend if I can't get it, I'll opt for the eraser wheel. P.S. where would there be threads about like cleaning such toolboxes, rims, etc.?

depending on the color of the paint I have had luck just leaving the vehicle out in the sun on a hot day and peeling the sticker off.

go to a auto store napa, scmucks or ever wall-mart and get some mothers alumanum polish, and get the power ball buffer, it chucks up in to a power drill and works awsome. or you can do it by hand. when you start polishing the rag will turn black thats all the dirt and crap you dont want on your shit, polish untill there is no more black stuff getting on the rag. and what ever you polish will look new, easy as rubing it on. good luck

I took the big graphics that Mazda puts on off of my truck. All I used was a blow dryer, a credit card, and goo gone to remove excess glue. Then you just wax the area 2-3 times and it blends right in. At least it blended in on the Mazda paint, but I heard Mazda used better paint then Ford.

WD-40 and elbow grease
