To save the paint I'd probably use a sharp plastic gasket remover and a
heat gun with a wax and adhesive remover! Watch out for the paint fade to
truly reveal itself from under the stripes. Velma had terrible paint fade.
As well as the many brown& beige across the bottom and just above the
recessed channel thru the full length she had some looked like some flying
bird with either a sun or moon behind it??

I spent an entire weekend removing stripes, gooey residue, polishing and
buffing.  Van looking 10 times better without them.  I bet I put 16 hours
into it.  But I was trying to save the paint.
