tips on demolding,,,

[tj98gmc]

id like to get this done here soon,,, over winter im putting cab corners and rockers on my truck so if i mess up the paint im not going to be super upset..

i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on pulling the side molding off of my truck,, (like i imagine using a heat gun will be a big help,,, but is there any other tips i should know??

On my S10 I used a heat gun (or hair dryer) and heated a part off, pulled the plastic off, and did that along the whole truck. After the molding was off I used the heat gun and a PLASTIC scraper to scrape off the sticky stuff. Then I used some Wax and Tar remover to get the rest off. After that I waxed it.

I've had good luck just peeling it off then using a 3m eraser wheel to get the tape residue off

You could check a local body shop supply. That's where I got mine.

Fishing line + eraser wheel = easiest trim removal.
