Default Stripe Removal
I'm thinking about removing my stripes... They have aged terribly... (Bit like me) and definitely need to come off... What's best to do it? A proper heat gun, or would it be best to take it to a specialist?

Didn't Lex take off his original Union Jack Roof Graphic, he may have some suggestions. I know that you have to be careful or you can take the paint off as well!

Mine have been on for a good 4 years though... I'll have to have a chat with the vinyl chap down the road... (If he is still in business)

Bit of heat, I think a hairdryer would work fine. And take your time!
