Basically the title says it all, I want to remove a pinstripe on a fender, it seems like it was painted on, it is definitely above the clearcoat though. What should I use to remove it? I can pick chunks off of it with my fingernail, but it is slow and I don't want to damage the paint underneath. Will acetone work, or will that damage the paint? Anything else?

Thanks,

Chris

I don't remember where I heard this... but if it the pinstripe is painted on, EZ Off oven cleaner will remove it. I tried it on an older A1 Jetta diesel I had and it worked like a charm.

Boy Ez-Off is pretty caustic stuff I wouldn't want to put it on my paint and as far as I know heat guns will only remove decal pin stripes
