#12257 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Pinstripe removal 5 Years, 6 Months ago   As I was hanging out in Tinkerville yesterday, deep in the recesses of my garage, I decided I hate the factory pinstriping on the tank. Is pure acetone overkill as far as removal of the pintripe tape--will it hurt the paint? Should I go with a milder product like Goo Gone?

I that case you have to sand it off to remove it. I have not seen your tank but I'm sure that if it's the factory job then it's under the clear.

As long as there's no clear coat over the pinstripe, heating and peeling them off would be the easiest. Followed by some goof off to cleanup the leftover sticky stuff. Yeah, what Doc said!<br><br>Post edited by: RoadieFF, at: 2006/11/26 11:53   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #12260 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Pinstripe removal 5 Years, 6 Months ago   RoadieFF wrote: The pinstripe is added for the ladies that usually buy the white bikes, a couple cans of black spray paint will cover all that white right up.

See. This is what I was talking about. Jealousy and denial. You can't help but feel sympathetic for them. So how ya doing there Roadie? Sounds like you're in fine spirits. That's good. Ever notice the Karma buttons? There's a minus button there too.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #12269 bluezdawg (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 273 Re:Pinstripe removal 5 Years, 6 Months ago   I'll bet that underneath Roadie's black paint there is the original white paint and he really regretted doing it!. Hmmmm, only one way to be sure... has anyone ever rode with Roadie to see if that balck bike is as fast as the white bikes?   Logged     Vietnam Vet, Legion Rider, Patriot Guard Rider   The administrator has disabled public write access. #12270 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Pinstripe removal - bluezdawg 5 Years, 6 Months ago   Musky wrote: The pinstripe is added for the ladies that usually buy the white bikes, a couple cans of black spray paint will cover all that white right up.
