Question How do i get rid of the pin-stripe?

I have 2 white pin stripes on my black S5. Ive searched. How do i remove it without hurting the paint? i can feel the stripe raised up just ever so slightly.

I just wanna get rid of it, its faded off in some parts, and just looks tacky... any ideas would be much apreciated!

Patience and a razor blade. Maybe a little Goof Off to clean up little bits. Don't use/rub to much or you'll go right through the clear and to the paint.

go to a store lke auto zone or partsource and purchase a rubber stripe removal wheel

this is essentially an eraser that you can mount in a drill of die grinder. Run that over the stripe and it will slowly take it off...

MUCH safer and professional then a razor blade

Plastic cap off of a Bic pen. its hard/soft enough to take off the pinstripe without really damaging your paint. takes a bit of time though, works faster on a warm day.
