Hair dryer is the way to go. If there's any glue left you can use WD-40 as a safe (but slow) way to get it off.
Don't be put off by stripes in general on account of these going dull. Paint's better, but for the money you can't beat vinyl, as long as it's premium 2-mil cast and not calendered. Calendered costs a third the money, lasts a couple years and dominates the market. It's making a bad name for vinyl that really isn't deserved. Sorry, don't mean to preach.
