Sounds like it is painted stripe anyway, so like Simpson said several times... wetsand and buff...
OR
use that stripe as a line to 2-tone the whole car!

Okay, the car was at the bodyshop for 2 days, and they were able to remove the stripe.
The red color in the stripe did bleed through to the clear, but they were able to get 99% of it out.
I'm very happy with the work the bodyshop did, and the car looks 100X better now. Thanks everyone for the comments.
Last a crappy pic of the pinstripe that was put on the car.

Glad that they were able to do such a good job

They tried a bunch of chemicals, but the stripe was too thick.
They just wetsanded and polished it down, but it took 2 days because one of the pigments in the red paint had bonded in with the clear.

The pinstripe is actually painted, its not the cheap tape that can be peeled right off.
Does anyone have experience with removing a painted on pinstripe, I know I will need to go to a bodyshop, but I want to see if anyone has had it done without a problem. If its going to ruin the paint I will keep it.
