pinstripe eraser

[fireLt.]

I am thinking of using a pinstripe eraser wheel to remove the factory srtipes. Anybody have an idea if one wheel will get the job done?

1 wheel should be plenty. I used one to remove the factory glue when I took off the lower body trim and you can hardly tell it's been used.
YMMV.

Is any certain brand better than another?

:dunno: I bought the one that the parts store had in stock, but the parts store I shop at also supplies all the body shops in town.... I couldn't tell you what brand mine was, it's been a few years now.

there all the same for the most part. just run it slow. your natural action is going to be running it at full speed. dont. push hard and go slow. there great.

One wheel will last several vehicles.

Using some 3M Adhesive remover and a plastic scraper works much quicker than the 3M eraser, per my experience.

I used adhesive remover & plastic scraper to remove the pinstripes from my lower cladding, endcaps & front/rear bumpers. Came off pretty easily, but it was tedious. I wouldn't/haven't attempted it on the upper body panels.

This was good advice. Removed all of the pinstripes in less than an hour. I used a wheel made by 3M. It cost about 30 bucks from my local overpriced auto parts store.

I just recently did this on my 94 Country. Here is a write-up I did for Comanche Club.

glad to hear. price sux i know. but if u dont burn up the wheel and figure it out fast, you can use them for a long time.
