Removal of Pin Striping
Had some pin striping added via paint a few years ago and I'm now wanting to remove it and do something different. On a car, lacquer thinner would do the trick without damaging the paint or clear coat. Anyone know if the same trick will work on the Spyder paint. Seem like it should be the same. I've done it on a car and after removing it with the lacquer thinner and buffing it out you would never know the difference. Looking at adding a wrap this time but I don't want to go over the existing pin striping since it leaves a profile through the wrap.
Current Modes of Transportation:
2014 Can Am Spyder RT LTD / Pearl White
2014 Can Cam Commander 1000 Side X Side / Yellow and Black
2007 Kawasaki Nomad Cruiser 1600 / Black with lots of Chrome
2006 Ford F-150 Bronze and Chrome
2014 ASICS Gel-Nimbus Running Shoes / Blue and White

i would never use thinner on my bike or car to remove anything, it will soften the paint

I've used lacquer thinner my self with no problems.
Try using it on some out of the way place (under frunk?) to see what happens

Saw this used on TV the other day and it looked pretty promising for removing pin stripping. Not sure if it would work in your situation though?

I have actually seen a pinstriper use oven cleaner.

Removed stripes from many Goldwings this way.

Another vote for oven cleaner.

Yep
Saw a You Tube video of this technique. I tried the lacquer thinner first and it worked well so I stuck with it. Both appear to work about the same though.
