Since im hanging on to my 95 Its time to get it the way I want it. It has the stick on stainless rocker panel kit on it. I think it looks cheasy so I`d like to get rid of them. Anyone ever attempt this? Im told they use 3M 2 sided stick em to hold em on. Is there a professional grade adhesive remover that wont ruin the factory paint? I considered if the paint was ruined under it to have the bottoms of the truck Rhino lined or? But it seems like if it gets muddy and dirty you`ll never get it clean cause its to porus and rough. Any advice will be appricated.
Thanks.

 

im not sure if this would work but try a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften it up and then try to peal it off

 

Worth a try. That's what I would do. I have been "told" that it is a bear to get those off and possibly screw your paint job. If it works, let me know. I want to remove my panels behind the rear wheels.

 

Heat gun works but be careful not to burn paint.

 

I think 3M makes adhesive removers, you might check their website or shoot them an e-mail to see if they make a product that'll remove their other product.

 

I used Klean-Strip's Prep-all from autozone to remove the 6" wide plastic strip from my tailgate. It's sold as a wax and grease remover for painting prep work. The paints slightly scruffed where ever the tape was, but it buffed out nicely by hand.

brandno.

 

WD-40 works well on adhesive stuff.

 

Id like to get rid of my Stainless as well - looks like the previous owner RTV'd it on with SILICONE!! Nice eh? That'll be fun when I finally tackle it.

 

I wish thats all mine were stuck on with. at least you can roll that stuff up like a buger Im gonna try something this weekend. Let ya know what happens
