Smile Pinstriping tape removal

I have had pin striping tape applied for about two months. The longer I look at it, the more I realize that I should have used another color. What is the most effecient way of removing this tape? I am thinking about a hair dryer ir a heat gun. If that works, what is the best way to remove the glue residue. I was thinking Acetone or Alcoho? Your help is much appreciated.

yeah, just use a heat gun to warm up the adhesive and peel it off. goo gone or something like that will take the sticky residue right off.

Make sure to wash the 'stang afterwards then wax it if you arent adding new stripes right away.

Thanks much guys. The heat gun worked perfectly. Heating the tape in two to three foot sections, it peeled right off. This method leaves almost no residue. However, I used "OOPS!" unstead of "GOO GONE", to remove the little adheaive that was left. the results were excellent.
Thanks Again/ Bill
