That's awesome.... glad you and Daniela liked the results.... Ronald and his gang are frickin awesome.... I stop by there every now and again just to watch them and talk $hit to them!!!!! But I would HIGHLY recommend them for any body work/painting!

I agree. We had him take care of some of the infamous under hood corrosion Ford doesn't like to take responsibility for and he blended the paint and re-cleared the whole hood. The hood looks like brand new now. No car wash scratches or water spots. Makes me want to take care of the rest of the car even quicker now.

Hopefully you didn't have to push it there! Looks good! Are the neighbors confused why you keep painting your car?

John (tribefan) - Daniela's car looks great. Looking forward to seeing it. Can it get more classic than a red mustang???

John (sleeper) - awesome car, love the wheels. Can't wait to get together and see them side by side.

Reminds me of Mad magazine Spy vs. Spy.

And good to see you Clark! I was just wondering where you'd been yesterday. Glad you found new employment and are enjoying it. Are you at the one on 70? Not sure if you moved away from the area. I think you were the last person in the group that was actually around my area.
Andrew-I'm in Wake Forest now, so not too far.
we started up a Wake Forest Mustang group which meets every 2nd Saturday from 6p-9p.
Check out our FB Community page for more info.

JJ-You must be peanut butter, cuz i'm jealy!! lol!

Alan-I envy you having old and new =)

So here's the bane of my existence, right now...

Picked up this pony from a customer Saturday. Harold and I did a full detail on it last March but now the owner wants to go a different direction, so OFF with the stripes!

Here's a few BEFORE pics

and one of the reasons they need to go...

pulled up an edge on the hood, only to have the vinyl pull up the paint, prob from trapped water in a chip or incorrectly repaired touch-up spot

The vinyl is not agreeing with me (mostly because it's cheap), have tried sun baking, heat gun, edge pulling and eraser disc...sometimes it's co-operative, sometimes not.

The more i got into it, the more i had to pull apart.

So once i'm done removing the stripes and cleaning the residue, I still need to fix some paint damage on the passenger door and the passenger side mirror cover.
Then i can start repairing the chip on the hood and the normal spots under the rear wing, then wash, buff, polish, wax and seal...

Have you tried naptha or xylene to soften the stripe adhesive? Neither should hurt the paint and both should help.
