Thanks man, Im using Goof Off. Probably the same stuff though lol. My fingers are not feelin to great, and I know everyone says use that 3M eraser wheel but I dont feel like buying it just for this.

Yeah it's a pita but it's worth it!

 

[kickitandholdit]

use a heat gun it helps or a goood hair dryer.

looks good.. i hope the pen stripe is coming off to lol

pen stripes are a ***** talk about fingers feeling bad hahaha

that goo gone does shit use accatone or laquer thiner will work 1000% easer then give the truck a good clean up clay bar and wax

 

[Spencer2009]

Will the laquer thinner not mess up the paint?

OOO Man I Want To Debage But Dont Want To At The Same Time. How Do You Guys Like The Look Of It(I Know Its A Stupid Question Because You Are Doing It)?????

 

[mikeyboy]

not not if u wipe it in to the glue it will soften the glue up and clean it up a lot easer i did it on my 95 .. your paint will be fine

 

[riviera rider]

man you guys need to go to a body shop lol, i used an air tool to remove the mouldings, then an air rubber wheel to remove the 3m tape, then wiped with thinner took me maybe 10 minutes at the most to do all of them

and thinner will not mess your paint up, as long as your dont rubb too hard or too long and if you have single stage paint on your truck for some reason DO NOT USE THINNER!

(if you got a maaco special dont use thinner, thinner will wipe off single stage paint) however if its stock paint or has been repainted but it does have a clear coat your fine to use thinner

Had time to remove the pinstripe too, heres what her good side looks like, still gotta get that SLT logo

And heres a comparison pic I guess. I know I know it looks stupid just having one side, but its all I had time to do today

 

[retorq]

I pulled my LT badges, that was tough and the paint behind there came off WAY worse then the paint behind the moldings. :|

At least you got a whole side off. Who's gonna see both sides of your vehicle when you're driving down the road! A credit card (preferably not one you need) helps save fingers and gets most of the glue.

haha youre getting closer to looking like my hoe.

dont take the slt logo off i tried and its too hard, the adhesive also pulls the paint off with it!

 

[drifter666]

take a piece of fishing line and in a sawing motion take the SLT off then you will have to get the adhesive off but wear gloves the fishing line hurts like a *****.

[Chrislovessushi]

hah taking pics at the gas station...I do the same thing as my projects always run into night time and the gas station is the only place near by thats well lit enough to check my progress

When i took mine off, i peeled the mouldings off all the way around, then drove it like that for like 3 months. the florida sun loosened the adhesive so when I finally got around to removing the adhesive, it peeled right off.
