Hey guys, I recently had to take the racing stripes off my R53. Turns out the previous owner used some ULTRA cheap stripes and they decided to turn brown over the course of about 60 days. Awesome. Anyway, after some research and looking into it, I bought the 3M Eraser Wheel. Since YouTube is another hobby of mine, I filmed it and posted it. Hope someone finds this useful.

 

I wish this had come up a month ago! I had a heck of a time removing my hood stripes. I tried a heat gun and it would only heat a small area to blazing hot so I moved to a blow drier which worked much better mildly heating a large area and then I just peeled it off. Quite a messy job as the front stripes just came off in little pieces. For the back stripes, and window tint, I purchased a steamer and it was like magic! The stripes just peeled off almost completely intact, but they were nowhere near the condition yours were in. Will definitely consider this in the future!

 

I stumbled across this somewhere while searching for a solution. You saw how bad those stripes were. Yuk.
