I used 3M Adhesive Remover, Goff-Off and Naphtha to remove mt BSM's and neither one of them harmed the paint. On the other hand....you car was just freshly painted right?

You certainly better hope that they didn't paint the car while they were still on there.

I hated having my car with someone else... I was there almost every day checking on progress! they removed all moldings, then masked

as for what I did, I used a blow dyer to get the claws off, that was easy... then goof off for the adhesive. I didn't have it down at first, so a tiny bit of paint came off. after I got all that off, I polished and waxed. Even with the little blemish, it looks 10000000% better! thank you guys so much for all the input. I cant wait to have a little extra cash, I think I'm a lifer to this site. here's some pictures of the work!

Great job!! I was a bit worried when a took the BSM's off my 02 vert. I used the heat gun, fishing line, and plastic body panel tools and didn't have any issues.
