Two things to consider before you take action. Is the paint under the stripe original, and how long has it been on there. If it's not the original paint, you have two areas of concern. First be sure that the tape wasn't painted over anywhere. If so the original color will be exposed when you remove the tape. If it's not, then be careful in removing that you don't take the paint off too.

If the paint is original, or a repaint that has good adhesion, the tape can be removed safely, but you may have a "shadow" underneath. The paint that was under the tape will be less faded, and will show after it's been removed.
