If you are going to get the can of acetone anyway. My pinstripes were original/painted. I put the acetone on the stripe with a Q-tip (6"-1ft at a time) and used my fingernail and a piece of soft plastic to pick it off. Worked fine and childproof. A few places it looked a little hazy. So i rubbed it with some scratch remover and it was fine.
I caught on to the acetone when my wife drove her black Exploder through a 5 gallon puddle of white paint that had fallen off the back of a truck. Took off slings from front to back. The acetone seems to nab any foreign paint, but isn't strong enough to damage the clearcoat.
YMMV, but it worked OK for me.

Two words of caution. First, wear rubber gloves (cheap hospital type) when using it cause it drys out your hands something fierce. Second, keep it away from bare plastic cause it will disolve most of them as well. It'* OK on vulcanized rubber, like door seals, but it will craze the surface of plastic trim.
