Have recently begun to debadge my '01 Silverado ECSB (black), and was wondering if anyone has any tips on the best way to remove the factory pinstriping? Thanks for the help

um sand it down with to bare metal then paint it lol jk , you can get like a rubber wheel that does on a drill and takes it off maybe called a take off wheel not sure i have one they work good and dont take off the paint they should carry then at autozone , napa, etc. not sure though

I pulled mine off in the sun. It was pretty messy and left some residue. I cleaned the residue off with a clean rag and some WD40. I then made sure to wash and rewax the truck. Expect to spend some time on this if the pinstriping is brittle and cracked up.

Use a hair dryer or park in the sun and just peel real slow and try not to get a big gap in where you are pulling from and the paint. Pull real small portions at a time. Use some stuff called desolve it or 3m adhesive remover to get the remaining stuff off. I work at a vinyl shop so I do this sort of stuff all the time. Shoud come right off though.

I have used this wheel and it works like a great big eraser. Just a little caution, told hold it one spot for any more than a few seconds ( it will burn your paint). Just keep it moving while using it.
