getting ready to prep car for paint and bodywork questions

go to a paint and body supply store for the windshield trim removal tool (Prolly about 10 whole dollar's) the trick with that is to get the tool under where the clip holds the trim and gently use the tool and the trim will come off with no problems. Now the drip rail trim is a beast of a diffrent color,you must be ever so gentle removing it so it doesnt warp as you remove it.....This is gonna sound funny but I use a hammer to remove those without damaging them because prying them in any way shape or form WILL damage them. I start with the front a pillar pieces and then with my fingers get the long ones started at that front corned the use a baby ball peen hammer on the flat side to gently tap from the bottom edge a lil' bit a time working the molding off. It is tricky but the best technique I have found so far....yes patience is needed....good luck and wait for other techniques to be posted,this one works well for me but others may have a better way....good luck!!!! :cheers:
