Pinstripe Removal

[garrettt331]

I noticed after viewing a lot of people's cars on the forum that 99% of them do not have pinstripes. I am assuming that the dealer added them to my car. They have always bugged me and I am hoping someone on here has some experience in removing them.

They likely are vinyl which can be peeled off , ( I completely support your decision) PS were popular in the 70s.................

Thought of that. They seem to be under a layer of clear coat. There is a pinstripe removing wheel made by 3M, but I am nervous to use this if they indeed have a layer of clear coat over the top of them.

Why would you put a pinstripe on a Stinger? It begs the question.

Possibly. I plan on working on the car this weekend. I will probably see if I can get up under the vinyl then and will report back.

Still....why would they. Do they think they need more styling to sell them.
