3M adhesive tape
 
trying to get some side trim off in the morning.

how do you pull the adhesive style clips off of the body without taking paint with it? is there a solvent that helps break down the adhesive.

i just painted my truck and don't want to mess it up. thanks for any help.

I took the body side mouldings on a 99 C5 Corvette
using some 20 pound test fly fishing line attached to
2 4''x3/4" dowel rods (peices of a broom stick will work)
Just tie/wrap the line around the sticks & leave about 6"
of line between the sticks. Now work the the line behind
the clip and use a slow sawing motion to cut into the
addsive. you will probley have some addsive left on the
body. To remove this use a finger or thumb and "roll off"
the sticky stuff. Then use you favorite polish or compound
to take off the rest.
