I have an 03 Cl type S 6MT, San Marino Red with Parchment. I was never a big fan of pinstriping, but my car had a thin double line that matched the interior on it already (hand painted, not tape). I've actually become quite fond of it.

oh yeah?! prove it.

oh shit i smell a showdown lol

Sun Diego CL-S

no. not a showdown. i just want to see what pinstriping he thinks looks good. he quoted my post either to make a point or just to show me up.

and btw black label, in my post it says "imo". just to let you know that it means "in my opinion", just in case you didn't.

PinStripes FTL!!!!!

No offense meant, I was basically saying I had the same opinion as you but my pre existing pinstripe has started to grow on me. To be honest I've always felt the CL was a bit bubbly in appearance (I always liked sharper edges on a car), the reason I bought it was it is a blast to drive and probably one of the rawest cars Acura has made next to the Integra type R and the NSX.

I fully understand what "imo" means, but unless I'm stating a blatant fact like "drinking poison can be dangerous", it can only be my opinion.

anyone else think that the guy who made the sword and shield was a dungeons and ragons fan as a kid? LOL

RYANGP

I once had a truck with pinstripping that also had the previous owners name on the door, so since my name wasnt the same I wanted it off. I took it to a local pinstripe shop to have it removed. The guy at the shop was really cool, he told me the secret to removing it myself,,, get some "off" oven cleaner, and some toothpaste, mix a bit of each together, dab a bit of this mixture with the eraser on a pencil and carefully go over the pinstripe you want removed. It worked .
I'm assuming this would only work on painted stripes, not tape stripes.

Its ridiculous that its actually a common practice for a painter to "sign" your car ---

I mean do they disclose their intention to the customer before hand?

I cant think of anyone who would actually want someones signature on their car...

I almost flipped a shit when a chevy dealer tried to put dealership decals on my girlfriends car! - He was actually insulted that i didnt want her to roll around with "joe schmoes chevy" on the back of the trunk, i told him if he wanted to give us a license plate frame thatd be fine (which we took off right when we got home). If someone painted their crap on my car i dont what id do...

I wouldnt mind if it was someone famous I liked

Easy Off Oven Cleaner definitely works. I had a 89 XR7 that a state tropper had originally purchased for his wife. It had double red and silver stick on pinstripe. I am not a fan of pinstripes so I removed it to find a PINK painted pinstripe hidden underneath!!! After trying solvent and a heat gun and doing only one fender after an hour, I tried the Easy Off recomended by a fellow detailer. Worked great with mininmal solvent and a few cotton rags. This was on a black car too.

I can't find the link with the method i used to remove the sword logo but i know it involved Easy Off and worked pretty well.

I don't know if i'd be comfortable spraying oven cleaner all over the rest of my car to remove the pinstripes, but we'll see.

yeah when I got my car pin stripped the guys signs all the cars that he does which pisses me off because its so noticeable. If anyone finds a way to get that crap off post it.
