You know I was on about removing the bump strips....

[mavvmad]

Its gonna have to wait till I got some dosh.
Started to peel one off yesterday and its taking the damn paint with it, Im going to need to get the sides resprayed when I do it.
Aint that just typical

[wysiwyg]

took mine of recently,got a household scraper btweene the strip and the foam sticky pads and came off a treat,took abit of time getting the sticky pads of the car though.

Oh they will come off easy enough but they are takin the paint with it

the car hasnt been sprayed/repaired at some time has it - only ask coz at work we do rally graphics on cars and when cleaning the old logos off we find that maybe the old logos were put on to a new paint job coz the paint comes off too

Im fairly certain its had new paint down the drivers side at some point.

I was gonna remove the bump strips as the rear one is doing the old curling up trick, as I started tuggung at it I could see the paint coming away so I have pushed it back for now.

I cant do it now as I havent the money to get the sides resprayed at this point in time.

sounds possible they stuck the stips before the paint went off 100% - i see this all the time when applying vinyl onto new paint - or removing vehicle graphics, customers then moan but nothing we can do about it as they dont wanna wait

i just heated mine up a little with a hair dryer, then left the rubber sticky bit to soak in WD40 for about arf hour, went back and they came off A-OK!

This is the problem i had.

Only thing was i originally thought some of it was muck and would t-cut out. So i binned the rubstrips. So i'm now driving a car with fecked sides. No point in me getting it sprayed as i want the whole car redone soon.
