Default easiest way to remove side moldings and lettering?

I was thinking about removing my side moldings and lettering on my TA. What is the best way to go about doing this? Also, on a pewter colored car will there be bad fading of the paint? I keep the car Zainoed. I just don't want to peel the trim off and have a bad line there.

Thanks.

A lot of guys say to use a hairdryer to heat up the molding first, but I just used dental floss to get the molding started, and then I just slowly pulled them off. This was in the summer though, so maybe in colder weather you'll need to heat them up first. I removed the glue with WD-40. I was worried about a line being left, but not to worry. I'm a Zaino user too. I left the Trans Am logo intact--just removed the moldings. I'm very happy with the clean look.

I used a hair dryer when i removed the Trans am lettering from the doors on mine.It worked out great.

I didn't get it real hot though.Just warm and pulled like h*LL.I used WD 40 also.
