Default Need Help Removing Painted On Pinstriping

So I was wondering if you guys could help me with my pinstriping problem? Title says it all... Plus I'm gonna remove the Vinyl Pinstriping too... Any tips for that would be greatly appreciated as well!

NOTE: The painted on pinstripe is ON-TOP of the clear coat!

Thanks in advance!

paint thinner or wet sand and buff on the painted, for the vinyl use a plastic razor blade and a hair dryer

oven cleaner works. took a bunch of striping of a '69 Impala that was black. Didn't hurt the paint at all..learned the trick from an old school hotrodder. Just be careful and don't let it set on the paint long and they should come off nice and easy.

Rubbing compound would be safer, my dad used to own a 92 vette and when he bought it it was all striped up, gaudy as hell. We spent like 6 hours rubbing off the pin striping that should go fast though, theres not much there.
