stripe removal question

I already did a search and came up with nothing. I am prepping my car for a paint job and was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to remove the 5 vinyl stripes on the bottom of my car. Thanks for your help!

Had to have the nose repainted on my 88, guy at body shop said he has a cutter wheel just for this. No real help except that there is a wheel to do this.

heat gun works pretty good, than use some mineral spirits for the adhesive...

The easiest way is to use a heat gun and some goo gone. That is IF the vinyl cooperates. If it wants to be stubborn, which sometimes it can be if it's pretty old, then the eraser/wheel tool is your only hope.

...the fact that you're painting it is good. any minor blemishes made can be fixed and painted.
