removing the pin-stripe

[shimoto]

i was wondering if anyone could leave me some info. on how to safely and quickly remove the pin-stripe on both sides of the accord.

Lightly peel the end of it off with a razor WITHOUT going into the paint, then pull slowly pushing right before the spot you're going to pull up

Then wash & wax the car because there might be a faded line from the sun beating up the clearcoat

i'm from mass too right near boston actually. i have seen heat guns used before to remove pin striping, but be very careful because if you use to much heat you will fuck up your paint, if you have a good hand you could razor blade most of it but that takes a steady hand so you can avoid scratching the piss out of the paint. try rebels approach first.

You can always use a plastic razoeblade.

I used a heat gun on it and it worked awesome. Came right off with no damage to the paint on the body like a razor can do.
