Transforming my Alpine 325is

Beautiful car!

Please tell me how you removed the painted pinstripe without damaging the paint underneath. I need to do that on my car as only certain panels are left with the pinstripe.

Yes, brake cleaner does wonders to painted pinstripes. No damage to original paint. Spray on a shop towel and rub away in sections. Takes time but works very well.

Brake cleaner like CRC Brakleen? Yikes, haha. I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Finally out and ready for a spin. Now she just has to wait for her new shoes.

Personally, I like the pinstripe. But, it seems that the general consensus on r3v is to remove it.

Got her home and been driving it for the last week. Never thought I would enjoy the car this much. I have more fun it than I did in my E55. Anyways, did some little stuff to it today. Pics below
