Default Remove vinyl stripes

Here's a video showing the second stripe being removed and there are notes on the vid if you want to know the whole process.

Now because every thread is worthless without pics, here are some for your viewing pleasure.

As this is the third time I've done vinyls before, I think Im getting pretty good at being cocky about doing them well. If you have any questions or tips you'd like to share, knock yourselves out.

Man, whoever put those stripes on that car did a very poor job.

I know, right? The cutouts for the spray nozzles were done horribly. Im very happy they didnt cut into the paint. There was a large amount of contaminants under them too. Assuming we find a good color stripe to match the top and interior, I'll do the stripes myself and it will be done correctly.

Unless I've been drinking when I put them on in which case they might be wrinkled and ****-eyed.

Much cleaner with the stripes off!
Do you know how long the stripes were they on? I don't see any paint tone difference, which is great!

I removed my stripes earlier this spring. I let it sit outside in the sun for about 30 min and started peeling away no heat gun or blow dryer.
