Default How do you remove pinstripes?

Yepp, bought my car used and it came with pinstripes down both sides. How the heck you get them off without messin' up anything or leaving marks from where they once were?

most auto paint supply places have what is called a "pin strip remover" it is a robber wheel on a chuck that will fit into a drill. works great.
