Striping the laquer will make no discernable difference in the sound. An unlaquered horn may look "cool" in your eyes but looks butt-ugly to most everyone else. The real cost of removing the laquer will come when you try to sell the horn. The buyer for your horn will most likely be a high school student whose parents will want to see a nice shiny tuba for their money and will pass on yours regardless of how low your price is.
