we couldnt take mine off without tearing up the paint, its a pain in the ass....we started off with a razorblade and decided that doesnt work so we put a propane torch up to it and watched it melt away and ruin my paint!

Check with a local paint and body shop.There is a pad u can put on a drill that will take stickers off and WILL NOT take ur paint off. I had the MAZDA sticker taken off my truck and replaced and there was no paint damage. BJ

Bump. The pad is made by Wurth,and looks like a big pencil eraser.BJ

I do this almost every day get your self a heat gun and platic razor blades heat up the pin stripe and start it with the plastic razor blade and it will pull off no problem. if you use the eraser wheel be carefull yo dont burn the paint.

If u use the eraser,let it do the work.Very little pressure is needed,and when u get stickers off a lite coat of wax will clean the paint up and looks great.Bj

I use the heatgun and plastic scraper and then some glue remover

eraser disk is the only way to go for removing pinstripes, but hocbj23 is right, very little presure, it can heat up real fast and burn the paint
