How the hell do i take the stripe off that i have on my car? I already tried a blower and it wont work. Is there any special thing that will make it come off w/o damaging the paint? It vinal stripe or w/e its called.. There pic of it below

well, if it's been on there for a while, then the paint is most likely either stained from the glue they use to hold it on and/or it is a nice color paint while the other is faded. i had some graphics on my car and just took a razor and started to peel the corners, then when i got enough i just pulled it off with my hands. if all else fails take it to a graphics place and get them to remove it.

Yea i know im going to end up with another lighter color stripe because of the paint (maybe even a red one since car was red before) ..im going to try using the razor tomoro but what should i do so i dont scratch everything under? Just start on a spot that wont show to much or something? God i hate ricers.. Look at all the shit i have to do now to make my car look fuking normal again

Well, as stripes go, that's not really a terribly one. I mean, it's not white or some billious contrasting color. If it's over a repaint, I'd fear lifting paint with it. Best of luck, though. You might try a credit card for a scraper, should be easier on the paint than a razor blade. You know about un-do adhesive remover? Wal*Mart.

The stripe isnt to bad but i hate all that show BS and on top of that it says GSX so...Whats that un-do addhessive remover is that the real name ? Any one know an exact name im ganna go look for something like that at wal mart.

there is an adhesive remover made by 3M. it's a citrus based remover. i swear to god that shit works miracles. when i bought my car the guy before had a checked flag thing going across the hood (from the right corner light to the left behind the fender well about 8 inches wide) then he had all these product names and irdc stickers put on. he also had a big windshield banner that said "white diamond" on it. i took a razor and easily took a corner off the sticker, then pulled it up the rest by hand. i sprayed that 3M adhesive remover on there and let it sit for about 10 mins, come out with a rag and wiped it right off. the car looked perfect.

That 3M sounds good, I'll look for it. The other product is really named un-do, and interestingly enough, it's cetane. That's the fuel additive they use in diesel to make it burn more easily, kind of the opposite to tetraethyl lead in gas, back then. I don't know how rough it'd be on the paint, though- I like the sound of the 3M stuff.

Holy Sh!t that thing is stuck on there ... i started around the back so it wouldnt look to messed up if i just gave up. Thank God i did that that thing will not come off! I actually got some off this time but not even an inch and i was ther messing with is for like half an hour. Im just ganna leave it i guess and try again another day when its hotter (im going to park it outside to instead of under my little shelter thing).
