Paint help

[LanceD]

New PPV owner and new to the site, picked up this 11 PPV and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on removing this black stripe. It's painted on top of the factory paint.

If it's actual paint and not a vinyl overlay or decal you might be out of luck.

Yeah it's paint. There's overspray in the jambs

That's not good news, I'd personally live with it or if it's really bothering you have the whole car wrapped or resprayed. You could damage the clear/existing paint by trying to remove it off.

Yep. Wrap, respray, or plasti dip.

Maybe consider applying some custom stickers to offset the black? Personally, I think it would look neat with a decal on each of the front doors.

Maybe add a 1/2 orange stripe above and below the black and put some Harley-Davidson decals on the black !

It's painted over the factory paint?
Hmm, I wonder how thick it is.

It is. It's thick enough that I can feel it with my thumb nail.

Has it been cleared or is it just paint?
That's tough. All of ours have decals. Mine has left marks, I need to do some serious paint correction to clean it up.
It probably sounds crazy but, maybe try to sand down a small area to see what the extent of the damage is.
