Replace the stripes?

[Jack & Donna Smith]

On our older smaller SOB, we had the same problem. I did some light
scraping and sanding on the offending areas. Then I masked the areas
off, (well, almost enough), and touched up the stripe area with good
ole Krylon, from Ace. Didnt look too bad!! Wouldn't want to try a
big area, like on a Bird however...
