    Well I don't really want to wet sand, and someone said that oven cleaner didn't work too well. So I was trying to see if anyone had any other input. Like buffing or something.

      Buffing it alone might remove some but more than likely will burn the paint first. You might be able to try some lacquer thinner and rub the stripe and remove it or maybe even some goof off (bought @ home depot/lowes), but will have to buff afterwards as well. Most likely the only way though is by wet sanding, buffing and polishing to get rid of it 100%. I have never had any luck removing painted on stripes any other way...

      Good Luck

        To get my painted pin stripes off I used rubbing compound. Took a while, but it worked. A lot of areas were faded, and they came off really easy. The other spots took some elbow grease...but I had them off in about an hour.
