I probably would not do it myself although it is clearly the best way to go. I may end up at the local high end shop here in Benicia. Simpkins. I saw them do a beautiful job on a Packard and a 59 Cad, which the owner shows off at car shows. It will be bucks for sure. I guess my kid won't go to college!

It is far better to remove the trim yourself. A production line shop isn't going to spend as much time on it, and may/will break some of your precious trim pieces.

Yes, Miracle will remove the trim if that's what you want. Of course it adds to the cost. They remove trim & do body work. Like others have said check the body work before the paint goes on. I had one slight imperfection in my Paint job & they fixed no questions asked. Like I said in my earlier post I would ask to see other cars that they have painted. They should be proud to show off there work. The one I used in Stockton had an old Chevy truck with everything removed including all the glass. It boils down to what you want and are willing to pay.
