How to Remove Factory Pin Stripes on Black G37

Hi,

Just purchased G37 from a previous owner. The owner had factory Infiniti pinstripes on the car. I know the pin stripes is painted on the car. I want it remove.

Do we have any write up or fix to remove the pin stripes? Car color is black.

Thanks in advance.

Pin stripes? I've never seen one with them. Please post picture! As for removal, try this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005RN...&robot_redir=1. You can find them at your local auto retailer, too.

I still don't believe they're factory pin stripes. Nevertheless get the easer wheel followed by googone for remaining residue and you'll be golden. You can just use googone itself if you're uncomfortable using the easer/drill but that's going to take all day. I feel I should add that if used improperly the easer will eat through the paint. I've used it myself multiple times on my car as well as others old and newer and suffered no consequences. Good luck.

believe they have the infiniti logo on each side

googone, i have used them on windows but to remove sticky tape, glue & such. this pin stripes looks to be painted on the vehicle.

you can visit an infiniti dealership & take a look at all those CPO G37 sedan & you will see the pin stripes. seeing is believing..

I used the 3M eraser wheel to remove the pin stripes. But, I left the Infiniti logo.

how did that work out?

do you still see the pin stripes lining? if so, did you have to wax it a couple of times?
