Default Best way to remove a painted pinstripe?

I have some pinstriping on my truck I want to remove. It was painted on before I purchased it. Most of it came off with the power washer. But there is a spot that wont budge.

Whats the best way to remove this stripe?

eraser wheel, compound and a wheel? I'm no expert but that's a thought. If it came off with just the power washer then that might be an option.

You can use some 4000 grit sand paper. Eraser wheel might work but if it doesn't then get some 4000 and it will take it off in no time. You will just need to be careful on any corners and use some buffing compound to bring back the shine when you are done.
