Hey all.
On my truck i have gold stripping on the side of it. It seems to be 2 pieces of tape that are on there and its starting to peel and break off everywhere making my beast look ugly. I already tried bumper sticker remover with no success and i dont want to harm the paint underneath it.
I really would like to remove it.
If anybody has any suggestions for total removal i would be thankfull!

Try a hair dryer. It's usually just enough heat to soften the adhesive without harming the paint.

 

3M makes makes a drill mounted wheel that works really well for taking off pinstripes. Looks a little like a round eraser. They sell them at bodyshop supply stores. Just mount the wheel on your drill,and go down the body on the side edge of the wheel,kind of like a wire wheel. They work really well,and even removes the adhesive. You might run into one problem though. Where the pinstripe was,the paint has not faded,and it may leave a "ghost" stripe when you remove them. A good polishing may help,but you may have to get the stripes redone,,good luck! ,,,,98

I've had this problem before. I had a 95 ford that I tried to get the ford emblem off the tail gate. It damn near took me all day. Then came my smart a$$ friend. He told me to use a propane blow torch. I told him he was full of *****. So when I had enough of messing with it I went to Walmart and got one for like 20 bucks. Sure as ***** it worked! Here is the trick. You hold the flame on the sticker. Dont hold it in one spot! Move it back and forth for like 10 seconds over about 5 inches at a time. The sticker will almost fall off on its own. Just use your nail on your finger to start to lift it. Then just pull it off. I know this will work on factory stickers. It worked to get those "FORD" stickers off of the tailgate. I have a 2000 sport now. Its gray but the "SPORT" stickers were red. I took them off using this method with no problem or damage to the paint. I replaced them with silver and black "SPORT" stickers. I think it looks a lot better. I hope this helps you.

 

Car-wash wand at 30-degree angle at 1" distance from end of tape worked for me (when I didn't want it).
