How to remove a pinstripe?

I want to remove the pinstripe on my trunk that is under the 3.2cls emblem. Anyone know a safe way to do it without ruining the paint or scatching it?

hairdryer, heat gun, goo gone or rubbing alcohol, tweasers.

Go slow after you lift the corner... heat and pull slowly...

wash, clay bar, polish, wax..

Mind telling me how long the pin stripping has been on the car?
