Re: [A/S] Excella blue stripe
Actually, if it is in the sun long enough, you won't need the hair dryer,
but you will need the mineral spirits. We are removing the black and silver
stripes around the "waistline" of our '88 Limited. It is a combination of
several width strips, the original of which was "woodgrain". It had faded,
then peeled off from wind as we drove. We tried to remove only the
woodgrain center, but underneath is black and edges of it and the other
strips sometimes come with it, so the entire section is coming off. So far
we've used only the sun but that's because we only do a few inches at a
time. We don't intend to replace it with original,and our flexible insert
is black. If it looks good enough after the mineral spirits, we may not put
anything there.
