Default 409 SS trim

Hello,
I need help in removing the side trim pieces on the fenders and doors, prior to painting.
What is the trick?

Anne

Default 409 stainless side trim

Start at one end, slip a piece of HDPE under the end. Use a
David broad blade screwdriver and gentle lever off at first clip. Continue along clip by clip.
You can buy clip removal tools which are plastic

Anne, once you do get the trim off, would you please post a photo or two on here for the benefit of others who may be faced with the same task.

Being able to see what you are dealing with is often better than a description.
