Possibly a stupid question, and i'm leaving myself open for pay out here.... But how the hell can i get rid of my grandpa style Pinstripes?? The look ugly and do noting for the car... Should i just use touch up paint and remove em that way?? Any help would be good thanks guys.

are ya pin stripes on the actual duco of the car, or on the plastic bumpers? cos mine are on the smalle bumper between the big one and the metal

They're on the body work... not the bumpers.

sorry cant help ya then... my mate used a heat gun or hair drier to get em off, but i dont know if thats reconmended

Go the Vaccationer look . A little heat never hurts, just be sure not to get anything too hot, or your paint will become interesting shades. Otherwise slow and steady wins the race, . [not really] Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i just peeled mine off , gave her a polish and it came up good. take it nice and steady though.

yep, 87calais hit thne nail on the head.. its just a sticker, so just peel off slowly, and give it a good cut and polish after.. should look good Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i hate those stipes it must of being a nissan thing

umm, my friends VK used to have them, and my brothers VN still has them, so i dont think its a nissan thing Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

heh, most of the commodore range has them on one model There worst are the white VL's with the bright red pinstipes (WHY!?)

Its not so much a Holden or Nissan thing... Any car you buy, its an option. Most car manafacturers seem to sell at least one model that comes with them (e.g Vacationer Commodores)

I agree with the hair dryer. The older the pinstripe, and the more sun it has had throughout its life, the harder it will be to remove. Sometimes they just peel off, other times it breaks, and breaks, and breaks, and you just have to be very patient with it. Be aware that the paint on your car may be darker underneath the pin-stripe. You may take the pinstripe off and then have dark lines that run across the middle of your car 8) I used metho to remove some of the residual gum that was left on the car, but my paint job wasnt that great in the first place.... I was only removing the 'double burgandy' pinstripe, to replace it with a 'single teal' pinstripe. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

man why are you taking the pinstripes off!? 8O They are the bomb. especially on my canary yellow

MadHatter mate i don't even have that car any more hey...

pinstripes make your car go faster! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just get a Hair Dryer and a Blade to lift the ends up, should curl up at the ends and then just peel it off, do it slowly and you should be fine... 8)
