paint job??..
This is in regards to the paint job done at Earl Scheib and to the ones who had their paint job done there. I specifically requested that they mask off all the moldings on my 91 DA. So that I can paint them myself (flat black). Now if I tape around the moldings to paint, will the adhesive from the tape do any damage to the clear coat and paint when I remove the masking tape when I'm done?

I would suggest taking the moldings off before painting but that's up to you. I'm **** and everything has to be off the panel I'm painting (antenna's, handles, moldings, etc...) If you decide to tape them off, you'll be fine, just be careful during removal. I pull the tape off at a 90 degree angle, some pull the tape off straight back. Just watch as you pull and make sure the clear isn't peeling off with the tape.
, or just pull the tape of real slow.

I would definitely take the moldings off to paint the car or to repaint the moldings. It's just a few clips, albeit some of the aren't that easy to get to. In the end, you will get a much more thorough paint job.
