I have a Lionel baggage car from 2007, 6-25555 from set 6-25519, that has stripes on it that I want removed. Has anyone tried that on these cars without damaging the paint on the car? Thanks.

Try the Solvaset and Scotch tape method. I prefer the blue shop towel to standard paper towel, but cut a strip of towel slightly bigger than a section of stripe you wish to remove. Place towel over stripe, wet with Solvaset. Keep wet for 15-20 minutes. Remove wet towel, dab off any excess fluid. Apply scotch tape, press on firmly, then remove. Repeat process, sometimes it will remove in 1 pass, other times 2 or 3. Repeat on other sections of stripe until removed.

That only works if those stripes are decals. On modern models, they are pad printed.
Follow this current discussion on lettering removal for hints about how to remove the stripes.
