[Shotimes] Re: pinstripe

[fwhittle@mindspring.com]

I removed my pinstripes last summer, right after the convention.  I suppose it may have been paint, but portions of it peeled off like a sticker (rather easily and in long strips).  Other parts were more difficult, peeling off in very short strips.  The rest of it was a pain in the ass--I had to use my fingernails to scrape them off.  Could be differences in aging.  It was the drivers side that tended to be more difficult to remove, and it makes sense that the drivers side would see a bit more sun than the passenger side.  The stripes all looked the same, so I don't believe that one side was replaced at all.

Subject: [Shotimes] pinstripe

None of my SHOs came with a pinstripe along the side, just above the crease.
My wife's 95 LX wagon did come with one, and I have seen them on many Tauri.
Does anyone know which cars got a pinstripe?  Was it a factory or a dealer
item?

Also, was it painted on?  It does not appear to be a tape or sticker.

The white pinstripe on my wife's dark green car has faded.  Any tips for
refurbing it or removing it?
