    So the previous owner of my truck put these pin stripes on it, but I'm not exactly in love with them. How difficult would it be to remove them?

    Opinions appreciated too. Do they look good or bad?

    Assuming they are not painted on, a 3M stripe off wheel works very well

    Just start peeling. They should come off pretty easy. If not just add a little heat with a hair dryer. Use the Goo Gone for the leftover adhesive.

    Hair dryer. Get them hot, start peeling at one edge and just go to town.

    Or go wheeling and get some "real" pinstriping... :mudding:

    Stripes are gone, they came off easily in the hot sun. Took a bit of work to get the adhesive off, but it's finally gone. If I look hard enough I can still see faint lines, but I may have to buff those out.
