Well hey guys, i got pin stripes on my 99 cl. Today it was hot out a bit and i accidentally scratched a bit off my pin stripes. and it easily comes off by using my nails to get it off. I noticed alot of the members here on acurazine dont have any pin stripes on their cars. so any advice on removing them off quicker?

Also i scratched off on the fender where the two stripes intervene, it seems to me like there an imprint of where the stripes are and it shows do i have to repaint it?

Goo gone, wd40, and a credit card, or similar.

I actually like the little A pinstripe, I might look at buying a new one for my car.

boy that was a quick reply. yeah i am only removing it so it has a little bit cleaner look, and like you know weather condition and so so, the pin stripes has like faded and scratches on it so i decided to remove it.

little A pinstripe? Post a picture?

And I have no clue but bug and tar remover and a cd sound good to me. Glob on some bug & tar remover (safe on clear coats ONLY) and use a CD to scrape the pin striping off. It shouldnt scratch your paint at all. I used a CD to get the glue off my trunk when I debadged it. If you have any shadows, either buff it yourself or go to a detailer and get them to buff your car.

Good luck!

Yeah, my car has a little Acura symbol right by the handle, but its is all scraped up. I don't really feel like taking out my crappy camera either

Thanks again. sounds good. im talking bout the stripes like runs from the fender, across the door and to the tailights lol. And its on both sides. Gotta make my ride look clean haha, because like where im at, not alota CL's are around, maybe there are like 5 or 6 but old people drives them.

you can use compound on the part where it's leaving like a fading/residue
