Default Mich. Remove Bump Strips

Any luck removing the side "bump strips" from the sides of the car - without leaving a blemish on the paint underneath?

Yes it's fairly easy. There are a few different methods. Do a search under BSM removal. (Body Side Mouldings) You will find all kinds of information.

Default Fishing Line Trick

Thanks for the replies. The fishing line trick sounds pretty easy. All I have to worry about is the "somewaht darker paint" under where the strip was. That wouldn't look too good. Probably more likely on older cars. Thanks again!
