For many people, pinstripes are one of the most recognizable features of a car. They add an element of sophistication and class, and for many drivers, they’re a part of car culture. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean they always look good. Pinstripes can often be unsightly, especially on older cars. If you want to remove them without damaging your paintwork, here are a few tips you can use. ###
Materials Needed
For most people, removing pinstripes from a car without damaging the paint is an easy task. All you need is some acetone and a cloth.
Acetone is a solvent that can dissolve paint. To remove the stripes, start by spraying acetone on the area where the stripe is located. Wipe it off with a cloth to remove any residual acetone.
Instructions
If you’re looking to remove stripes from your car without damaging the paint, there are a few different methods you can try. The first is to use a hair dryer on low heat. Be careful not to overheat the paint or you’ll start to see bubbling and peeling. If that doesn’t work, try using a scraper or clay bar. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid getting any paint on the tires or wheel wells.
