How to remove pinstrip?

Hello I bought a used 05 G and it has the dang pinstripe on it still. How the heck do I remove it? It looks like it is painted on and cannot be peeled off. Help please!

I have only ever seen Infiniti use the sticker kind, see if you cant gently lift a corner and then peel it off

Seems like you need to go to a paint shop?

use a heat gun.. it should get it right off. but do it gently as you do not want to take off any paint

Heat gun(or blow dryer), detail spray as a lub and a plastic razor should do the trick. You can also try some of the goo-gone stuff with a plastic razor as well.

Pinstripe removal...........

If you think it was painted on take it to a detail
person or paint shop. Or if it may be a decal using
a hairdryer will help along with Googone and a good
waxing after..........LOL

Cool thanks for the help, so it probably is a vinyl stripe? Maybe since its been on a year+ it look like paint. I'll try the hair dryer method and some goo-gone this wekend, you guys find plastic razor blades at discount or something? I just want the stripe gone, looks tacky in pics.
