removing heritage stripe help

im getting the pass side fender and front bumper cover repaired/repainted while its getting done i want the guy to lay a new set of heritage decals down. my question is what is the best way to get the old ones off without damaging the paint and also need to know what the factory spacing is for the stripes. mine are so cracked up and shrunk there is no way i could go by that measurement. its going in the week after next he is only charging me $250 for the fender/bumper and fixing the rust in the spare tire area.

heres how the stripes look now.

Its literally a giant pencil eraser that you put in a drill. We use them to remove lettering from work trucks.
