I agree with Bigbender. Expecting oven cleaner to remove only the the paint you want it to remove and not damage the paint you want to keep is crazy.

I don't think it's crazy to use oven cleaner A few years ago I had my bike pinstriped with the wife's and my name on the tour pack, I asked the pinstriper if I ever needed to remove it what was the best way? and guess what he said? Easy Off Oven Cleaner I sprayed it on let it set for a minute wiped it off, worked like a charm. I needed to get it off after the divorce, got rid of the bike too!! Looking back I should have kept them both!! Thats another story for another day! Bill.

I've seen several bikes that look pretty good with the striping. What do these guys charge for something like? What is reasonable?

If you don't want to go to someone for custom paintstripes, Mylar graphics have a lot of choice. Most larger signmakers can help you out on this one. My local guy is Suburban Accents. Ric does a lot of Police dept, NASCAR, "rolling billboard" delivery trucks, etc. One of these days when I fix my scanner, I'll post some of the ones I did.

I just did this removal using goof off. I used a soft cloth. NOT terry cloth. Took silver pinstriping off a black bike. NO damage to original paint or the clear coat!!

The paint on a bike vs a John Deere/space shuttle/widget is different. My initial reaction when told 'bout the oven cleaner years back wuz that someone wuz on crack - but it's a fact, there is NO harm to the paint, but the pinstripe will be gone quickly an' cleanly. But hey - what do I know? Feel free ta use whatever ya want.......[X(]
