If it is the sticker paint kind you can warm it with a heat gun(be careful( and peel it of then clean and wax. Did mine this way. PITA either way you do it.

its like vinyl i guess? paint is in good shape but after 7 years in the sun and rain im sure its not 100% dark as it was off the factory floor. so take it off then have someone buff it or could i just wax it myself and get rid of the line??

You really need to buff it to get the paint to match again. WD-40 works great for taking them off also.

yep i removed my door moulding off my 95 camaro after 13 years, wd40, then used a clay bar to remove anything hanging out on the paint then buffed and waxed. Would have never known it was there
