Default Painted pinstripe removal

I haven't had the funds to do anything to my car that I wanted (mortgage crisis is killing us loan officers). However, I decided to spend $20 on some oven cleaner and rubber gloves so I could get rid of those ugly frickin pinstripes. I just taped off a section at a time and sprayed the cleaner on for about two minutes then wiped it clean. One door in particular was a pain, but the rest was a breeze. Here are the results.

Thanks for the comments.

As for the paint. I'm hoping it won't, but I planned on getting a new paint job once I install my kit that's been sitting in my garage. I actually did this a little over a month ago though and haven't noticed any issues yet.
