    So my 2020 Tundra (Superwhite) came with a painted on pinstripe. Of course it was installed at the port or dealer as part of the "upgrades" the dealer tries to "up sell". I love the spray in bedliner and I can live with the predator style side steps for now but the pinstripe has to go if it can be removed without damage to the paint.

    I have a decal eraser wheel and a DA polisher to clean up any potential marring. I'm hoping marring shouldnt be too big of a deal since the truck is white. I don't know if the eraser wheel is the first thing I should try.

    So, does anyone have any advice on how to remove?

    I think its painted and clear coated over.... I do not think an eraser wheel will do anything.... I have no other advice. One dealership near me did the pin stripe and I purposely bought from another one so that wouldn't happen to my truck.

    This one doesn't look like its got clear over it.

    It had a sticker on the window from this company. http://stripeco.com/stripeco.shtml I guess I could reach out to them for advice too.
