Pin Stripe Removal?
Anyone got a good idea to go about removing the factory pinstripe from the side of the blazer? And dam I like the looks of the blazer without out the door panels on it. Looks really sharp would the same go for the 2nd gens too? Thinking of debadging it too.
Thanks,
Joe

an eraser wheel might the easiest/quickest way to remove the pinstripes.

if you feel confident you can do it the same way I did it. Use a heat gun warm it up just enough to get it plyable, do not over heat it and slow peel when it get a little harder to pul warm it up . Use a plastic razor blade to get it started and afterwards clean it with a little bug and tar remover or rubbing alcohol.
This technique was told to me by a old body shop guy and it works awesome.

I have used a regular razor blade before, but I would not recommend it to anyone else unless you have a steady hand and know what you are doing. You can seriously mess up your paint doing it this way.
I would recommend the heat gun and plastic razor blade then adhesive remover.

the Black trim is actually stock, My Blazer is pretty much as close to loaded as it can get for 95, even has the 6 speaker sound system lol

3M makes a trim black paint that we use at our shop and it matches very well. as far as the pinstripe. the eraser wheel is the best way but if it has been on there as long as mine was. you might have to do some wet sanding and buffing to make the lines go away. good luck

Yea thats kool, so 3m Trim Paint - I wanna get wanna get rid of the chrome trim. Can I just go ahead and sand the trim down and remove the chrome and spray it black. Along with the trim around the fender wells as well? I got the pinstripe off, dam was that a pain in the *** but it came off. Also took off the little guards above the windows and debadging tomorrow. Going to pull the roof-rack off as well. Looks nice and streamline will have to take some pics. Then in a week or two I am going to do a 4/6 drop with some extreme wheels on it.
