Default getting that red stripe off!?!?!?

how and the heck do you get that red stripe that goes around the white fox bodies??? i took a razor blade to it the other day and it just comes off in like 1mm tears. its very aggravating. i'm trying to do it soft enough so that i won't chip off the paint. any ideas???

thanks,
jeff

try using a heat gun. Just keep it moving because it will bubble paint up...I learned that the hard way. Or if you don't have access to a heat gun, 3M make a good adhesive remover that might soften them up a little bit.

See if you can get a hold of an eraser wheel for your drill and it will take that thing off super fast. just don't press too hard or you could mess up the paint.

the moldings on the door will be a pain depending on how well the car was taken care of. my stripe fused with the rubber and i was not able to remove it.

i'm thinking mine might be fused on there. it just didn't seem to want to come off. the plane was to get it off, then get those sticker things to fill in the mustang gt on the ground effects with black stickers. i know, i'm badass.

anyway, anyone else got any ideas???

I just took off my sky blue stripe last week. I used a hairdryer to get them off, it took a while, then I had to get the sticky stuff off too.

On the door molding I used a heat gun, it was really hard to get it started, but once I got it going, it peeled off in 5 seconds.

good luck!
