No it won't damage the paint.

Also it won't get most of the glue residue off either.. On most jeeps that pin striping has been on for years and a little body compound/wax and a buffer is the only way to completely remove it unless you want to change paint removal with a razor blade..

I have been using an Eraser wheel attached to a standard cordless drill on mine...

No damage to paint and works really well.

The eraser wheel is called a pinstriping removal wheel and can be found at any auto body supply store. I have also seen them at Harbor Freight. They are inexpensive, but be careful with the pressure...you can burn the paint if you press to hard.
