"Little Help"
I have a 87 Z-28 with All original stripes, not the Iroc-Z ones.
The Stock Z-28 ones...
My question is: How & What is the best way to remove these stripes.
Figure their 27 years old & probably hard to get off.
I don't care if the paint peels off, cause i'm re-painting the car.
Thanks for any input.

I used a heat gun,no problem.Just don't over heat or it will come off in small pieces.

Re: "Little Help"
There are pinstripe removal wheels you can get from body shop supply stores. Attaches to drill .

Re: "Little Help"
Be careful with the heat gun not to burn the paint. Maybe start with a hair dryer and see if that works.

Re: "Little Help"
Update as of today: Heat Gun, Plastic Razor & Goof Off (for the glue)
WORKED OUT GREAT.
