dont be lazy...try to take it off

sand it down if it's sticking too much

drifting.8 · 11-27-2007, 03:05 PM

i did try to peel it off dont work.. so i guess i ll have to sand but what about painting it ?

txrxs · 11-27-2007, 03:07 PM

it's just tape. Gumout and razorblade will get it done. But...if you're asking this question I think you should just spray over it.

Landers · 11-27-2007, 03:08 PM

take you time and peel it off.....apply some heat if need to....then if there are any bits of stickyness use some wd-40 or goo gone. There should be paint underneath that tape stuff. Take your time and be patient. I did this to my car also.

With a razorblade, it comes off insanely easily.

I remember just pulling it off with my fingers and saw FRESH black paint under there. Too bad the rest of the car wasn't like that!

Heat gun, patience, and Goo Gone. Easy.

Maybe it was because I took mine off during the hot summer then. Good luck with it. Car looks 100x better with it off
