What did you use to take off your trim? I heated up the molding with a hair dryer, then used fishing line to cut through the tape. Once the molding was off, I washed the truck to get rid of the dirt behind the molding, then used an eraser wheel. The strange thing is that the paint issue is in between where the tape was, so I doubt it was anything that I used to remove the left over tape.

I used a dryer also, thin plastic spackel knife and some goo gone. I know what you mean about the discolor being between the adhesive, I think its just from moisture being trapped between for so long, but who knows, doesnt really bother me much since, I have a couple other spots on my tahoe that have rough paint problems. Looks hella of lot better without the chrome trim.

Maybe pin stripe with wider stripes.
Oh, u had it since new.. Well probably they rushed ur truck at the plant and put on the impact strips before the clear cured and the trapped solvents clouded up beneath.
Paint or new strips. Its a shame because it looks great without the strips..

Looks like your looking at mountains from a cave.
Maybe I should make up some "Rocky Mountain Edition" decals and say it is meant to look like that!

HA HA I was thinking that that same idea could be pulled off. I say go for it. If anything it becomes a conversation piece.
