how do you remove painted on pinstripes?
Hi I want to remove the painted on 1/8" double pinstripe down the side of my white 93 C4. Anyone know a safe way to do it? It is on top of the clear not under it so it should be easyier but I don't want to damage the clear under it. I thought about wet sanding it off with 1200 grit wet sand paper on a block but am worried about sanding through the white paint between the two stripes. I need to remove it clean so I can have some custom work done but if it won't come off clean I'd be better not touching it .Thanks Tim

For what it's worth, I had a double stripe on mine and attempted to sand it with 1600 and it left some unbuffable scratches, then I found out from my local detailer that a little EZ off oven cleaner works really well-used it without a problem, but use only a little at a time and put it on the rag and rub, not the car-and rub in the direction of the stripe, not up and down. Test a small area first! Good luck!
