How do I remove pin striping from car?
Solvent MethodOne of the simplest way to get pin striping off your car is to use solvent and a plastic razor blade. First, you must soak the stripe in chemical glue solvent (like SEM’s “SEM-solve” or 3M’s General Purpose adhesive remover) for about an hour to soften the glue. A plastic razor made specifically for removing pinstripes will help you lift them away. If your pinstripes are really stuck, then keep the razor slick with solvent, and slowly pull the pinstripe back against itself.Stripe Removal ToolA number of companies (including Astro and 3M) make specialized pin stripe removal pads. These pads chock into a 500 RPM drill and do a great job of grinding the stripe off the car without overheating or damaging the paint beneath.
