How to remove pinstripe paint??????

Guys I have some pinstripe fames that were painted on a month or so ago. I would like to remove them.
Can you tell me what I can use to remove the paint without damaging the bike paint itself??

thanks!

Were the pinstripe flames clearcoated over? If so, I think you're out of luck...

If they were painted on about a month ago, you can use thinners to remove them. They are enamel over urethane (factory paint) and should come off with laquer thinners. Try a small test spot under the tank to make sure it is factory paint on the tank and not a repaint otherwise the thinners will damage a repaint. Factory paint is usually not bothered by thinners.
