yep, not going to find it anywhere except for a body shop supply place. it's not an 'everyone uses it' item that the auto parts places stock. i know there are a lot of auto body supply stores in the philly area, post up your location and i'll try to help you find one.

I'm in Upper Darby thx

okay, so i guess i was wrong. i tried to come up with some suppliers that i knew of and realized the only place somewhat near philly (not really at all) is Finishmaster in Norristown. just a quick google search got me these:

Topp Automotive Inc.

P & B Auto Paint Supply Inc.

i've never used the other two but they should have it. i know for a fact that finishmaster has it, i use them for everything. finishmaster = good people. it's kind of a far drive for you though.

Norristown? Its like 10-15 minutes. 10 from where I grew up in Ardmore. I'll hve to check their hours. Thanks bro!

thats hilarious. it doesn't even take me 38 minutes to get to work in Glenside... I pass the Norristown exit on the Blue Route, and then continue up the PA Turnpike. lol.

update: I got impatient and after a few minutes of trying freehand w/ goo-gone, i started to wetsand w/ a piece of foam sander.... didn't turn out well. I basically buffed off all the clear coat, even removed paint a couple small spots... remnants of sticker is still there. lol..

its cool though, cuz i'm either just painting the whole car soon enough, and/or getting a Seibon c/f trunk.

Dang, defiantly never take sandpaper to your paint.

A decal that's been on there that long is well into the clear coat though.

Its all good, I'm replacing the trunk lid with a Seibon Carbon Fiber one anyway. FTW.
