OK...that statement gave me chills - pulling the protective cover off pulled off your pin stripes?!? I'd have been on the phone with 3M raisin' hell for sure!
They where painted on top of the CC so they where likely to be damaged. I bought the 3M from Mike and asked him if it would damage the stripes he replied and said that the Hot Rods never have a problem.
Under the circumstances I was pissed but was all about helping mike through his troubled times! Not a real big deal, the striper lives near my home and was able to fix it for cheap.
I live by the choices I make! I new going in there was likely to be trouble so you can't really blame anyone but yourself when making a decision based on your own research. I think we all hear what we want and when it goes south we look to blame....well that is not me. JMO, not to say I don't get in a twist from time to time!!
