as i replied to the other thread

use boiling water

youll need a fuck load of it but it should work

they use if for removing vynil signs from vans n shit and i used it to remove some go faster stripes when i baught the car

the vynal along the bottom will prolly be heavy going but it will come off

Ive just got hold of a paint stripper Ive try it on an old door ive got and it's fine so im goin to use it to do the rest it takes half the time it would normally take if you can get hold of one try it on an old door or panel.Trust me it's much easyer and quicker and does'nt leave as much of that tack glue on the paint work

im gonna hav to do mine soon, as my gte kit is getting sprayed now! :?

i think i might hav to take a trip to the scrappy and get a scrap door to practice on, iv got a heat gun i use at work so im gonna try that.
for the 'go faster stripes' i used boiling water and a screwdriver but im guessing the vinyl is a lot thicker? :?
ill let u know how it goes

I used a hairdryer to warm the glue, peeled the vinyl off and used a credit card and petrol on a rag to remove the glue. Took it off the bottim of the car and the window pillar in a day. Its a piece of p155
