How to remove pinstriping....

I have an 06 f150 that has pinstriping from the front all the way down to the bed. I would like to remove this without damaging the paint. Also after I remove it will you be able to tell it was still there? Has anyone else done this to their truck?

You can buy a drill attachment call and eraser wheel, body shops use it to remove pin stripe, double sided tape etc. You may need to look for it at an automotive body shop supplier, such as a paint shop.
I have one myself and it works great for removing stickers, strips and so on. It works like an eraser, some "crumbs" of the strips and the eraser will fly off as you use it, just follow up with some wax after you are done. Also don't hold to long in one spot it can burn through the paint.

As far as leaving a mark underneath the stripe, I doubt it yout truck is not a year old yet, not enough time for the paint to fade out. I took the 4X4 stickers off my 06 and you cannot tell they were ever there.

I used a fresh razorblade. I removed the dealer sticker the minute I got home with it. If it hasn't been on there to long, it should come off pretty easy and leave no marks behind. There may be some sticky left behind.
