Apply heat with a heat-gun(or hair- dryer) about 10-12 inches away until you find the pin stripe easy to remove. Its not a long process really depends on the thickness. Don't apply excessive heat to paint. good luck

If you go to a body and paint store you can but a pinstripe and decal eraser...It goes on a drill or airtool...It,s just like a giant rubber pencil eraser...You just have to be careful and not use too many rpms will burn the paint or clear coat..

Depending on the vehicle, the pinstripe could be under the clear coat. You may not be able to remove it.

You can use a heat gun or hair dryer on fairly warm to hot setting to soften the tape and then just peel it off.
