Default Removing Wheel pinstripe

Any suggestions on making this easier. The wheel is still on the bike as I dont have a front stand yet. I removed the rear wheels stripe but scratched the hell out of the wheel. Any ways to make it come off easier?

Yep, that's what I would try, too. It works on body decals. Then just take the residue off with lighter fluid or some other residue remover.
