Message	Which now that I look back on, probably wasn't a good idea considering I knew next to nothing about it, had never tried it, and did it on a black car... But I had a nasty pinstripe on my black NA that I peeled off, but left a phantom stripe on the paint where the stripe had been. So I wetsanded the bitch off the entire car, every panel. Worked awesome, no problems.
