I was just trying to figure out a way of removing the glued lines that are across my 86. Im thinking of some kind of solvent to remove them but dont wanna damage the paint in the process. I was looking through the members rides section and an example is on beserker99s car (of the 'lines' that is)
And mine too!!!
These were a pain in the ass (and thumbs) I used acetone to soften it then wax and grease remover to get the rest of the crap off.
aparently heat guns work a treat, but I didn't find that out till i had finished.
WARNING: Pulling off mine reveailed some very nasty rust patches!!!
no solvent is needed, if you go the heat gun?
anybody know any processes of getting rid of this shit?
be very carefull with heat gun not to heat the paint so much it blisters, not fun
i would only recommend removing strips on a car that has near perfect paint work or a car that you will be respraying, as with older faded paint, you will be left with a huge mess and it will look crap!!
any other ideas?
--whoops
is there any specific solvent good enough to dissolve the glue yet not strong enough to go through to the paint?
go to a car paint specialist and show them, they will have your answer, but i imagine it would be hard to find any that wont affect your 20y/o paint!
