[98_MustangGT]

i may have asked this question a while ago but i cant remember. i plan on taking the stripes that say "Mustang" under my doors off. what is something that i can use that wont hurt my paint? :dunno:

Just pull the stickers off and use simple green to clean the gunk off

do i need to use a heat gun or something to make them easier to get off?

No just peel them off and scrub the Gunk off with Simple Green then throw some wax on.

Did it come that way from the factory? Never seen a GT with the rocker panel stripe. :dunno:

Do it on a sunny day, you'll thank me when you are tearing off the stripe in one piece and not a bunch of little pieces.

use a heat gun or hair dryer dude...I ripped off some paint when I took a sticker off without a heat gun.

Lighterfluid works too

When I used to work at a Ford dealership when I was younger, we actually used 3M Adhesive Remover and a metal razor blade to remove stickers on both new and used cars and trucks. The stickers just kind of float off of the paint.

Would you suggest the same thing to remove the "pinstripe" sticker?

same as other people have already mentioned.. hair dryer to heat them up.. weakens the glues bond.. when i pulled the one decal i put on the body off i just used hairdryer and a fingernail..

Yeah, it's what I used to remove the pinstripes that were on my car when I bought it.

I'd recommend this method. If you use Simple Green, be sure to dilute it with water.
