The black vinyl stripes mostly peeled off if I was careful, and it would take the sticker goo with it if I pulled at about 90 degrees. (Don't pull it at a sharp angle, go slow.)
What I couldn't get started, or wouldn't peel, I scraped off with a razor scraper. I wiped the little goo that remained off with acetone.
The thinner in-between stripes were mostly worn off, and I just scraped the crunchy stuff that was left with the scraper, and then lightly sanded with 220 grit so I couldn't feel it.
Really it was no where near as much work as I thought it would be.
Once everything was off, I scrubbed the whole thing with a grey "fine" scotchbrite sheet and Superclean, and then rinsed and let it dry before painting.
