Taking vinyl racing stripes off (1997 Grand Prix GT)

[eggiedawl]

Good Video. Seems to be the only one to show how to remove stripes. I'm in the process of removing mine too. How many hours did it take you to remove them?

[AGBULLIT]

Why is the video in reverse?

[TELFORD88]

lmfao it took me 3 1/2 minutes to realise you were taking them off from the start, i honestly thought you were putting them on and taking them off later in the video lol *face-palm*

[RoseyMinx]

Did you use a hair dryer or a heat gun?

[scottypimpin223]

where did u get your grille for the car

[Lijiman]

@scottypimpin223 I got them from a guy on clubgp.com forums. I think he called them VT GT Grilles, but I think he stopped making them years ago. May see some pop up on ebay or those forums occasionally.

[dashingkong]

wtf, im confused, is this in reverse?

[SDCalifornia1]

Man you to fast

[GFOgravedigger]

You should, before removing the stripes, paint your car white, and then remove the stripes. Then you will have a white car with red stripes, tuff car.

[aldinss]

i need you to do this to my 09 eclipse gsr

how much do you charge

:]

[shawnk01]

tight video, had me confused for a sec

[NYlover2000]

Your confusing me is the car white or Orange

[FTleader15]

[Hitman7027371406]

[KrushKrills]

taking them off in reverse

[2006mukesh]

im too stone to think about this now!

[jordle88]

why wud u wna take them off.

[FlamingHomelessDude]

its obvious your taking them off

[lamborghinisown]

well SOMEONE loves pontiacs. there's like 4 in your driveway!

[Karnage542]

So how long did they last you before you had to take them off? Also when you took them off did they do any damage to your paint? Im asking cuz i want to put racing stripes on my camaro.

[hippymaff]

You fooled me in the first few seconds. I was well impressed as to how you were putting the vinyl on. Good idea to play it backwards. I deffo feel its better with them off. Space now for hippy flowers!

[MusclzLive]

reverse lol

[BackAlleyPB]

1:39 hmmmm

Your taking them off but you putting something else on it?

[yoyoyohommie101]

does anyone recommend a good place to buy these online

[allday850]

wow thank goodness you took those off. I throw up when I see ricer stripes..

[rickyeveritt]

your a nerd if you don't put anothe

r set back on, looks lame without

[Mrwhtkr]

the car looks like shit anyways why would it matter if it looked better

[catrashoo]

those cars dont last very long do they? ,thats why i love toyotas.

[liladdiction]

can u buy the stripes by the roll?

[Lijiman]

I believe so, but I had it professionally done.

[bloodseedrums]

@Lijiman it really doesnt stripes are the easyest thing to do, just be good with your measurements and watch the how to videos on here for installation, lots of application fluid

[77karlos77]

why did you take them off i thought that was awsome looking

[Lijiman]

Eh, I loved them too, but they started to crack/peel/fade, so it was time.

[Patron1520]

taking it off..

[tropicals23]

I thought that was you walking backwards lmao

[chris27top]

how long did it take you?

[Lijiman]

I think just about 2 hours.

[IgOrEcK24]

@Lijiman How long did u have them for?

[kissabell6669]

this song is lame backwards i bet it worse forwards

[ovidiu9412]

nice car and good work

[vietsk8]

lol i was like how did u flaten crumpled up vinyl? lol

[juliuswaag]

haha this video is backwards, that's why it looks so easy :P

[garejvari]

at 2:06 I realized that the video was backwards. LOL. I was wondering how he was doing so well.

[InIt1aLD]

are you taking it off

[Xellos357]

lmao, first off the video was pretty cool... a waste of 5 mins but cool. i got a question for ya though... why'd you take them off? it looks like it's be cool... did someone talk shit about it and call you mexican??

[Lijiman]

Ya, it's a waste of 5 mins, but I wanted to test out the time lapse thing on my new Mac + iSight. I took them off because they were fading, chipping off from rocks, and tearing. I actually really liked them and still miss them to this day, but it had to be done. :(

[andrewcote]

dude your taking them off... they are all crushed and broken up.. fuckin idiot

[housor]

WHY WOULD YOU VIDEO TAPE THIS

[Lijiman]

Because I had just bought a MacBook with iSight and wanted to play with the time lapse.

[joeblokes]

A real pro. Taking the striping off with his mum's blow dryer. Betcha she didn't know about it.

[marinie500]

i wish you showed how to put them on. I found it hard.

[Lijiman]

I had them done professionally. There's no way I'd be able to do it myself.

[marinie500]

i tried putting stripes on and it was a disaster.

[thundertiger06]

Hes Taking them OFf !! Look at the people at 2:38 - There going backwards...

Plus, you dont need a drier to apply them, only removing them

[WiggyPlease]

i'm pretty shure that dude lives by me because i saw the same car and it looks exactly like that.

[MagicalMan687]

How can you prevent vinyl strips and stuff to not chip and fade away??

[Lijiman]

Not sure. I bet clear coat would work, but I wouldn't know how to safely get clear coat on the vinyl before putting it on the car.

[dingoxiiiii]

nice purple hairdryer

[citi0rhythm]

they are not piece by piece when u stick them on aren't they?

[alexanderhawks80]

what is that stuff

[Lijiman]

It's just vinyl striping

[mesutnurdogan]

Why did you take them off??

[Lijiman]

They were cracking, fading, and chipping away.

[my98nsx]

Very cool vid. Definetely taking them off, though.

[ro1kman]

very cool.... I like the time lapse, it makes it look really easy to put those damn things on!
