Default Pinstripe Removal

Hey guys, Ive had a black pinstripe running down the side of my car since I bought it, I want to remove it and put some grandsport fender stripes on it, can i just take it off with a razor blade?

Is it a decal or paint, if it's a decal, get it warm (use a hair dryer) to soften the glue, then peel it off, wash off the remaining glue with alcohol/goo gone, or similar product
Please don't use a razor blade
If it's paint, then take it to a shop and have them get it off

I used a hair dryer and just slowly pulled it off. Came off pretty easy actually. Then just get some Goo Gone and clean up the area it was.

If you have a HarborFreight near by, go pick up one of these. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93048 If you dont have a air compressor, then scratch that idea... These work friggin awesome though. They make a attachment that just goes in a cordless drill too.
