Pin stripe removal

[n/a]

Bonjour!!

I need a little advice here.
As you see on the picture, I have this ugly black and red pin stripe painted on my car (not a sticker, alas).
Has anyone any idea on how to take it off, or a place to go that would do a good job???

the car doesn't need repainting, so I am looking for a way to get rid of it without damaging the paint.
For info, did a test with an eraser on the trunk to take off the signature logo (an ancker, maybe someone knows who signs like that), but I am a little scared of trying it on the body.

Merci!!

Bonjour!!
Fabrice, if the stripe is painted on you're better off contacting a top notch body shop for removal. If it is a high grade "decal" type stripe, then use a hair dryer and a small plastic scraper. Heat about twelve (12) inches at a time and then attempt to get the scraper between the decal and the paint. Do not put to much heat in a small area at one time.
