  • HulkaMAMEia is runnin' wild!
alright first i ordered a bunch of stuff from happ this past week and when i go to check my order status it says "Pick Time : 7/3/03"  what does that mean?  pick up time?  or something?

next, im going to start stripping off the paint, but im having trouble figuring out the best way to strip off the side art thing.  i posted this in side art forum, but its more related to construction and stuff so im posting it here :)  but from experienced people, what is the best way to strip off side art?  razor blade?  some type of weird spray stuff?

Use a paint scraper, and either a heat gun or a blow dryer on high. Start in a spot, and start prying up.  Move slowly, and you'll get it no problems.

As for the Happs thing, I'm guessing pick time refers to the date/time they actually 'picked' stuff out of the warehouse for you.  I worked in a warehouse for a bit, and that is just one way of keeping track of stuff (when it's processed, etc.)
