Default Country pinstripe

Hey does anyone know how to cleanly remove the wore out pinstripe on my Cherokee? I don't want it to go but I think it'll match everything else better since its not gold and green anymore it's black and green. But I can get it off with my nail but that will take to long are there any tips anyone has?

What is that? Sounds like what I would need after the stripe is gone. It's basically just a decal not paint or anything. But I do t want to take a razor blade to it and scratch the paint.

You can easily peel it off if you get a hairdryer on it. All it is is a sticker.

^This, or a heat gun. Just don't get it hot enough to melt.

Get a clothing steamer. You can get them for like $20 at Target, Walmart, ect and they're great for removing tint, stickers, ect.

Just heat it up some on one end, peel it back, then slowly move the steamer along the stripe while peeling it back and it'll come off clean without leaving any residue behind.

Alright but it's not one whole decal anymore. Its broken up and all that's left in most places is the residue how would I get that off quickly if that possible?
