I have a silver 02 SS and the side moldings are starting to fade, so instead of painting them, can i remove them easily without damaging any of the paint behind it, the car is mint shape wise, just dont wanna take the chance, has anyone ever did this before or can give me so advice? thanks

I didn't have a problem removing the side molding on a cold day, I use a butter knife & carefully started taking off the side molding, & after it was off, there was glue still on the sides, I went to autozone & bought Goo Gone, I rub it against the glue & let it soak, after that I used my finger nail to scratch off & it came off with no problems, this was before I had my car painted

Heat them up, pull them off slowly. When you pull the tape off, pull it parallel to the panel & stretch the tape, it will start to pull off & it lifts a lot easier. There was write up on here about it before.
