I have a huge grip and then a question. I purchased my VIBE with pinstriping thinking they were vinly graphics. I went to remove them this weekend and they are freakin painted on. I asked my dealer if they can remove them and they said no, but I can go out and purchase enamel thinner and remove it with a Q-Tip. 1. Will this mess up my clear coat?2. Is there anonther way to remove it? 3. Nova I still love my Vibe so don't rip Any info will be appreciated.

Are you sure it's painted on? Try taking a hair dryer to it and heat it up and then with your figure nail try to get under the pin striping when it's still very hot. It should come off. Normally pin stripping isn't painted on.

Derek,It's painted on The pinstriping chipped when I stried to peel it off. White stripes look ugly on a shadow vibe. I want to put graphics on anyways. (Not too much though, don't want to look too rice)
