Help...How do I remove pinstripes??
Guys, before I start trying to remove my pinstripe on my 91 Integra, I just want to know how much of a pain in the ass will it be! I believe that it is taped instead of paint, but not to sure. If it is painted how do I remove it?? If it is taped, I can get it started but will it break in process due to its age??
thanks in advance!

if it's painted - wet sanding and buffing
if you have clearcoat on the paint, it comes off real clean and you will never know it was there (unless your paint has faded substantialy)
I had mine removed from a local bodyshop and it cost about $70ish - can't tell I ever had it

ok, so I found out that it is taped. Best possible solution is hairdryer/heatgun?? How long do I have to keep the gun on a section for?

a heat gun can kill your paint.
it should just peel off. its not too hard.
goo-b-gone to remove any residue
