Is there any way to manually get this off without taking it to a body shop? Its the pin striping (in my case, white) that runs front to back like above the door handles in that area. Someone told me with a heat gun it might come off, but i just dont know?? Any suggestions?
thnx..
**note, i just tried slightly running the edge of a razor blade along it (someone posted that worked a while back) but all that did was take off paint along with the striping ![[Mad]](mad.gif) . its like the shits painted on there ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

i took mine off, using a razor, and a screw driver, basiclly scratched up the pin stripe paint, ahen used some wd40 on a rag, and used some elbow grease, there is alittle bit of scratches, but you can tell only if your up close to the car, i think mine looks better with out it.

if u use a heat gun lightly on your car it will come up easy, just dont hold the gun on one spot too long or the paint will melt

There is a special tool you can use but, all it is,is a couple of thin foam discs on a "Dremel". I used it on my '94, it worked great!!....(caution)---If your paint is faded you'll see where the original pine stripe was...You can buy the discs at any automotive paint store.
