Re: removal of painted pin-striping
The paint under the stripes will most likely be close to the original shade of black, whereas the rest of the car most likely has faded a bit over time........you will still see the ghosts of the stripes.

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
Thank you all for the responses. My wife is not able to ride in the car anymore but she does enjoy looking at it.
I will try the easy off technique. Thank you V8coopman for the excellent instructions. I will post the results. Phil |

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
I've read an article or two about the restoration teams at the Smithsonian Paul Garber restoration facility slowly hand sanding aircraft down one coat at a time to look for original paint colors and markings that may be hidden under subsequent coats of paint. It is a long and tedious process but the only way to verify what's there.
Clear coat 2-stage is easy to color sand but single stage can be color sanded and coated with clear as well. A lot depends on how thick the top coat is and it's current condition. Pin stripes put on with a brush can be fairly thick but they stand proud of the base coat so it can be done if a person is careful but it will take a good bit of time. Fingers will be very smooth after that much hand sanding. |

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
Probably best to just say sorry, it's too risky to try and remove them. Like it or lump it.

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
I would mask it and carefully air brush the body color over the striping. Or use a wider brush and hand paint over it. Not rocket science.

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
Now this makes so much sense. Would the average person notice a black car with black pin striping? If they did, and asked me about it, I would tell them it cost a lot more, but we think it was worth it.
Thank you oldford2 |

Re: removal of painted pin-striping
Black shows everything. Even if its black on black it will still be noticeable to the trained eye.
