Hey i was wonderign if any of you guys have advice for working around painted on pinstripes. The problem is that i had to have the passenger side of my bed resprayed, and the idiots in the body shope left swirls and scratches everywhere, and then pinstriped over them. I tried using some speed glaze over them, until i realized that it would prolly take them off.

So does anyone have any advice. The scratched are deep enough that the ones that i could get to, took 3 applications of speed glaze to even begin to take them off. Is the ford clearcoat that hard? Or are they that deep?

Thanks guys,

I think this is more of a workmanship problem. I would take it back and complain. You are spending a lot of time to get your paint acceptable. It sounds like they used too rough of sandpaper.

Could you mask the pinstripes so they won't get any more polishing?

 

I thought about it, but i think the pad would just tear a half inch piece of masking tape off. I'm really pissed that they effed it up this bad.

 

How about a stick on pinstripe, just to protect the painted on stripe. I know these can be buffed over.
