Pin Stripe Remover???

Hello guys - What can I use to remove a pin stripe? Of course, I don't want to damage the ride and I don't want to purchase any special tools if I don't have to. If you want to see the ride, look in the 6 gen forum and the posting is named Spanked -- I put those Foose Spanks on and now I have to remove the pin stripe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are they a tape or are they painted?

You can try a hair dryer and plastic spatula. The hair dryer will soften up the pin stripe and the plastic spatula will help scrape it up without scratching the paint. You can use Goo Gone or WD-40 to remove any tape residue. Throw on some wax and you're done.

i used a hair dryer, my fingernails, and adhesive remover, it worked like a charm, but it was a bit time consuming.
