removing stripe

[jjgms]

My 90 4runner's stripe is cracked, faded and peeled in places. Its gotta go. Is it difficult to remove? If not, how do I do it?
Im prepared to have the paint look "newer" underneath, but I think I'll have my local fix man try to spraypaint and blend in the color.
Thanks

Yesterday I asked a local paint and body guy about the stripe, and he said to use 3M woodgrain and decal remover and be prepared to "work like hell" for hours to remove the decal.
Anyone else use this stuff? Is it worth it to remove the decal? Thanks

I just peeled it off while it was warm (may need a blow dryer now).. then for the glue, used goof off.. works great.. but did take a few hours...

There is a product called Desolve-it (citrus based) sold at Wal-mart that will take off emblems, vinyl lettering and glue off quickly without hurting the paint, works much better then anything I
