Default Vinyl?

Hey all,

ok i have vinyl sticker stripes on my stang going through the middle, just wondering how much it would cost to take them off ? will it damage the paint or anything, will it it be darker than the whole car since its been covered for a long time(such as tan lines)?

LOL tan lines!

Depending on how long they've been on there/how strong the adhesive is it may damage the paint. Do you know the manufacturer of the stripes? If so, contact them and ask how to properly remove them. They may suggest an alcohol solution, or that "Goo Gone" stuff for cars, but if they recommend paint thinner, you may just want to leave them on..

I'm in the middle getting that done right now and thankfully it's not leaving a mark or paint damage. It depends on how long they've been on and how/what was used to apply them. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Heat, a blade to start the peel and slowly tear away. Set aside many hours.
