Default suggestion on remove white stripe

my 99 ex came with a white stripe on the side of my car on opposite side. I want to remove it without taking off the paint and my friend told me to use a hair dryer. Is there any other ideas you guys have in removing this without taking it to someone to pay for?

Yeah, try a hair dryer. I work for an autobody shop and end up working with alot of decals etc. We use heat guns there, but I would try the hair dryer method first, so you don't burn your paint... :P

another tip if your doing it on an older car.. if its not white dont take the pin striping off because the paint fades bad and u can see the lines

with a 99 itll be fine, i just pry the edge up with a horizontal razor then use a heat gun and slowly pull, only takes a few min.
