I had my bike striped last year. While it looks decent, it could be better. I was told by the striper that I could remove it using oven cleaner. I bought a spare fender in case this fails. lol I put the oven cleaner on at 6PM tonight. I will leave it on for 2 hours and see what I am left with.

Beginning

I know when I used to build plastic models, sometimes I wouldn’t like the paint job. I used oven cleaner back then to remove the paint and it worked well.
We’ll see…
should of had my dad stripe it

If I get the crap off, I’ll check him out. I really can’t complain, it only cost me $100.00 for both fenders and the tank.
IMO those looked pretty good, yes ive seen better but those were pretty good.

who did it?
and try rubbing compound if you only want the stripes off, that is of course if it isnt cleared.
It came off but left a light stripe. That came off easily with the thumb nail. Being impatient and sto0pid, I decided it would be faster with a scrubby sponge used lightly. Do you know what that does to clear coat ??? lol Damn!
I am now wet sanding with 2000 - 12000 grit I use with model paints. Results will be posted later.
If it’s tape, then a heatgun and adhesive remover, if it’s paint… then I dunno…
lol that sucks, did you sand all of the clear off? if so you might as well take all the clear off before you get it restripped and then get the whole thing cleared over the striping
At least it is cheap to redo a small fender if need be. When I do the rest of the bike, I think I’ll skip the scrubby sponge!
hah good call, how bad was the damage from it?

thats not real striping
but yeah if it was taped on then a air gun would be fine.
yea, those scrubby sponges are basically just a scotchbrite pad, which is what they use to scuff clearcoat when blending… ouch.
But a scuff and clear is cheap, especially if you know someone.
