Re: best way to remove pin stipes and body trim??
Well my truck has gray pinstripe and a chrome looking 2inch trim that is on fenders doors and bed. Think these pieces are stuck on with double sided tape. Pretty sure I can jus pull em off. Just not shure what kinda mess lies benieth.
Wife don't want me to take em off. She says it makes truck look old. I like the original look with trim. But also like em smooth. 3m wheel can be found in pep boys? |

your going to have to post a pic of the trim...it maybe a stock clip on piece...
look for the wheel anywhere that sells paint supplies or any 3m supplier

Both come off real easy if you are planning on painting it afterwards. What is your goal?

Re: best way to remove pin stipes and body trim??
I did mine a couple of weeks ago, (they were like that, but in worse shape), and the 3/M wheel work well and as advertised, but there is still a bit of clear film left behind, that the 3/m adhesive remover (chemical) wont remove. This weekend, I'm going to try the heat gun (on low), and plastic razor blades....
