    get out there one day with a hairdryer, heat the pinstripes up in little sections (something like 1/4 of a door) and peel it off, before the stripe breaks, heat up the next section and keep peeling.
    It worked for me

    Fingernails are good for that too!! And the hair dryer as mentioned before. De-striped a VH in under half an hour. 2 rows of lovely (yeah right) brown pin stripes....

    I second the motion for a caramel wheel they do the trick nicely, if the car is painted in acrylic dont get it too hot you might damage the paint, use a slow setting on a drill, also wrap some electrical tape around the chuck of the drill it will lessen any damage if you accidently hit the chuck on the body.
