kellya 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2019 Hi All, Thinking of taking the black stripe off the side of my car, its a 14 plate red one though and I'm worried about the paint underneath. Anyone got any experience or tips? I've heard using hot water is better than a heat gun? Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
