My NSX had a pinstripe that the first owner had applied. I had been reluctant to remove it, as I didn't know whether it would leave a shadow of less faded paint. I finally removed it today: wash car, peel stripe off, remove adhesive residue, wash again, wax.
There's no noticeable color difference where the stripe had been. I think that speaks well for the durability of the NSX paint; the stripe had been on the car for nine years.
With all the pinstripe-free NSXs out there, you may be wondering why I had ever bought a car with a pinstripe that I didn't want. I wanted a rare color (midnight pearl) and at the time I bought, almost no midnight pearl specimens were on the market.
