Pinstriping

My pinstriping on my car is all cracked and faded and i'm wanting to remove it what can i use. I have tried tar and bug remover but that don't work. I don't want to scrape it off because of the paint

i doubt that there is going to be any chemical to remove it. The only way I know of that works is to use a good blade. Just use water with alot of soap mixed into it when you scrape.

Obviously wait for others to chime in before you attempt that. I have only taken a pinstripe off when the paint didn't matter during body work. Good luck and if anything else, this was a free bump

You could use a hair drier or a heat gun. Then use some goo gone to remove the residue. Just another option for you.
