i have a teal '96 mystique..i dont mind the teal color so much as i mind the grey & pink stripes going down both sides of the car..is there a safe and cost-effective way i can remove these stripes by myself without damaging the paint or leaving any sticky residue behind? any help or suggestions you guys could offer would be appreciated..thanks for reading!

Your paint may have faded though and not faded behind the stripe...It probably won't be too noticeble on your color of a car....Try just peeling them off starting with your nails. You can also heat them with a heat gun or the wif's hot a** blow dryer. To clean up all the sticky stuff use 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover available from any body and paint shops or Napa! Lots of elbow grease.

Mine is Electric Red Metallic. Will that show if the paint is discolored a bit? It is darker and more red than the later Toreador.

well i only had a chance to get the rear passenger panel done today before work but so far i like the outcome..there is no difference in the shade of paint when i remove the stripes and they come of very easily without leaving any residue behind..although i'm going to have to give it a good washing to get rid of the dirt that's collected at the edges of where the tape used to be, other than that it looks like smooth sailing...thanks guys
