it depends if it is factory applied or not. if it is under the clear coat, you are sol, if it is above you can use a razor blade to remove it by slipping it between the pin stripe and the paint and gently pulling it up while applying heat from a hair dryer.

If it's an old car be careful you may have some fading due to the sun and it'll look odd.

I work at a car lot and we use an eraser wheel to remove pinstripes. It is 5x faster than doing it with a razor blade. Here is a link to a site: http://eastwood.resultspage.com/auto/eraser
