Painting a car? Sounds sketchy!

On my Sol, I unscrewed the bolts along the sides, and the ones on the fenders. Then you just slide them (to rear iirc) dont pull out to the side tho.

They have a bout 8 or so clips that they ride on.

Good luck

Some have clips holding the molding on, some are taped on with double sided tape.

when removing the side mouldings there is a 10mm black nut on the rear edge of the door. pull the door panel off and there is clips inside the door squeeze them together and start at one end and work your way towards the other. the ones on the fenders just have to clips you squeeze together and then pop the moundlin off. JarvisW is correct on how to get the side skirts off.

Gun metal, silver, camo? Take it and a box of spray paint down to Rock Island and let people tag it? Yes, I'm suggesting that one again.

People make some real good looking paint jobs with those rollers. And for $50, who can complain. Just a little more elbow grease.
