I took the strips of the side of the car....but it has left a white line on the paint. I spent about 30 mins with T-cut, did all right but still there. Will the mark come of evenually with a lot of elbow grease....or do i need something else.

(Black corsa C)

I already need to respray the passenger side rear quater where the strip was as it pulled of some paint .

Unfortunately I think these lines will need to be spray painted. I am under the impression that it's where the glue has reacted with the paint, and a bodyshop told me about mine that it was under the lacquer and would probably need spraying. Thought you'd be ok on a Corsa C tho as it's not that old.

i thought i got the short straw when mine came off in one go and left brighter coloured paint underneath, requiring about 2 hours of Tcut, just on the boot.
hmm, i was wrong

I have a feeling that people are pulling their strips off, surely the way to go is to heat the strip and "sawing" it off with fishing line and then removing the sticking crap with tar remover or similar?

Or leave the strips on, they have a function!

I want to see teh picture tho
