How to remove fade strip?
How do you remove the fade strip that is just above the gfx on 85-90 TA's?
Would adhesive remover help or is it useless on those vinyl strips?
I'm trying to remove it while saving the paint underneath, so it that possible.
Thanks

I removed the striping on my bird a little while ago...I can't recall if the T/A material is a bit different, but oh well. You have to be real patient, but I took an exacto knife blade and sloooowwwwwwwly chiseled (sounds like a bad word to use for paint!) the striping off. The paint underneath was fine, (looked brand new, so that made for some waxing/buffing), but I had to take Goof Off adhesive remover to the glue the viynl left over. Looked much better after I was done, sorry I don't have any pics.

<----is very dangerous with exacto knife
Well if that Goof Off stuff didn't hurt your paint then I'll try that first before taking the knife to my TA.
