Pin Stripes+Bodywork=Removal?

[240sxJoe91]

Hey should i remove the stock pin stripes since ill be doing some body work here soon...The drivers side rear qp pin stripes are going to get sanded down/removed i know this already so should i take them off the rest of my car? Here are some pics...( what should I use to take them off? ) not to worried about paint because i need to paint my car anyway lolThis is the side with the spot i will be fixing, and below that is the other side. Any input will help.

I would say yes because you cant bondo over it or really do anything with it. Im sure you would like to paint the car anyway sooner or later. Use a razor blade to do so.

You could use an eraser wheel if you can get a hold of one.

well i'm not too sure myself i've noticed some of my factory pin stripe coming off when i hit the clay bar on it.... but you said you're fixing the dent i'd just sand sand/blast the whole car and primer it up to get ready for your new paint. since the stuffs coming off anyways why not make it so your upcoming paint job sparkle?

Thanks...if im off school tomorrow i think ill start at the dent area and work my way up...Then do the other side...Do i need a hair dryer or anything? Thanks guys

Hair dryer wont get hot enough to do anything. You could use a heat gun.

razor blade, that is what i used. Forget about the sanding, just take all the pin stripe out first, takes less than 10min for all the pin stripe.
