i use a putty knife covered in masking tape and a hairdryer/heat gun to heat up the edge a little and get the putty knife started enough to get your fingers under it and the slowly pull it off while heating it with the hair dryer/heat gun. and if your lucky enough to get all the tape off with it,which happed very rairly if at all, the best thing to use for removing the tape would be an eraser wheel from your local paint supply store or i have heard NAPA sells them too.

Use a chain saw it works well but **** the paint up a bit, the sheet metal.







Wd40 or goo gone works pretty good, once ya get it started it should come off pretty easy.

Go to the closest Chevy dealership and ask the body shop to do it. That is what I did and it cost me about $40. I had the moldings on the doors. The LS emblems on the pillars and the "Chevorlet" and "Silverado" on the tailgate taken off too. It looks great.

autozone list: plastic putty knife and goo gone. Be a man and rip that **** off by hand too. Its real easy. then get the big stuff off with plastic putty knife then rag and goo gone for the residue. then hit the car wash
