Default i have some pinstripes on my new front end

wassup guys, crashed my car.. and picked up a front end at the boneyard. color basically matches up, only thing that looks stupid is that it has pinstripes and the rest of my car doesn't. i was thinking about taking it off with a razor blade but i wasn't sure if there was an easier way. i sure don't want to scratch/scuff the paint. took a while to find a clean front end. 3 months actually. lol. thx for all the advice in advanced.

If its painted on, gently wetsand off w/ 2000. If its not use an eraser wheel. Buff/ polish to bring back the gloss/ remove marks.

alright guys, i did one fender then got called into work. i didn't buy an eraser but i used a blowdryer. warmed up the stripes... then peeled them off by hand. there was still a lot of residue.. so i came back and hit it real lighly with some water and a brillo pad. looks like the rest of the car. i'll get some pics when i get off of work
