Transforming my Alpine 325is

[MattAvino]

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

i want your interior

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.

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.

Some recent work. Mainly blacked out the chrome around the windows, some mods to the lights, and a claybar/compound/wax (car went from a light yellow to true white!). Still a work in proces of course. It's killing me to have it parked for what will be months before I can start driving it.




Look at the reflection in this 25 year old paint.

Nice buy

Damn, that interior is mint. It can use some new supple leather but still looks incredible
