    Seriously, try using oven cleaner "Easy Off". Apply it, let it sit for like 10-15 min, then wipe off the painted on stripes right off. Start with small area first to test.

    This is what we use to take off the paint stripes and the painted on company logos. You might have some slight discoloring (paint/clear fade) so a wheeling might be necessary after the stripe is removed.

    I used this method before. I got the Easy off in the yellow can. I sprayed it on a paper towel and then spread it on the stripe with a Q-tip. Wiped most of it off. There were a few stubborn spots i hit with 1500 sandpaper. Then wheeled the whole car. came out like the stripe was never there.

    We use paint thinner at our work. Put some on a rag and gently rub the pin stripe off. If it does leave a mark a wheel will take it right out. Good luck!

    Doctor Ru did some graphics work on a z24 I once had. Then two years latter I wanted to remove that to have him do a metal torn graphic. He had me use a pressure steam washer to remove the previous work. It blasted it off and did zero harm to the clear coat.

    Try this it works darn fast and easy. I only rented the machine for two hours to get the task done.

    Thanks guys! Sounds like it won't be a problem at all if I'm careful.
