ok so i took my car by the auto-tech shop at my school today. and they told me that my stripes were acually painted on [:'(]. they could tell by the way my stripes are cracked and faded on the roof of my car. my freind that i know there said that stripe kits will rip, tear, and get air bubbles but wont crack and fade, only paint would do that. So how should i go about removing stripes that are painted on?????????????? i asked my freind but he said he really didnt know

 

You could take it to an auto body repair shop and see if they can take the stripes off, and paint the area where they were to match the color of your car then color-age the area.

 

the car needs painted.

 

the car needs painted......what???

 

you think a painted on stripe will come off? yes sanded and painted cause if you just have em paint over the stripes u will see the lines.

 

stripes are gay.

 

i want to take them off for now cause im gonna get a ss hood and then maybe put a new style on

 

bluoval is right the only really clean way to do it is to sand down the stripes and hit it with a full fresh coat of paint not much you can do besides that

 

take it to a professional shop and see if there painted on...

school shops often don't know 100% what there talking about...

Also, if the kid knew that the stripes were painted on, he would have known that the only way to remove them was to sand them down and repaint

 

i took it to a pro shop today and yeah there painted on. so they have to sand it down paint it and age the color a little
