OK I have seen several threads about this, but nobody has really posted any pictures. Here are some before and after. I spent hours trying to get the pinstriping off, the decals came off easier, but were still a real pain. So I read on here about the magic eraser thing. Well it worked like a charm. I spent a total of about 15 minutes removing it. Another 10 minutes polishing the gelcoat, and another 5 minutes puting on the new black pinstripe. WOW. this thing really works great. ANd thanks to everyone on here that suggested it.

Since I have no idea how to resize the pics, here is a link to the photobucket.

Ah, c'mon Bob, at least give me time to see the pics before you snatch 'em up:D

Re: Removing pinstriping and decals

Sorry, I will fix the post. I was just trying to help out by posting the pics because nobody had any of the actual process. I have no idea how to resize the pics, and on other forums they usually help out by resizing them, but I guess not here. So I will just post a link to my photobucket so people can see them.
