Just bought a 03 Accord and am wondering what is the easiest way to remove the pin strip from the side without damaging the paint. Thanks in advance.

the body shops have a special tool that is somewhat like a soft pencil eraser that spins on a die grinder. You might check around local parts stores for something like that.

 

heat gun + slowly peel it away

 

Wait till summer, mine peeled right off with no heat gun or anything. Had to use some Goo Gone to get some sticky residue off but it was relatively easy in the summer.

 

really hot water on stripe or heat-gun. move heat gun around alot though. start at one end and move 2-5 inches at a time keeping it warm. peeling lightly as you go. like the other dude said, you may need goo-gone if any adhesive stays behind.
