Pintwork will be OK, theyre only stuck on with sticky pads. Pull trim off with your fingers, it will bend and ruin trim but it won't matter to you. Then use a solvent such as brake cleaner etc and a plastic scraper to remove sticky strips.

Hi, probably nobodies taken the bump strips off - that's why there's been no replies! I would think that it depends on how the strips are stuck on as there's a good chance that you'll have to do some paint work when you take 'em off! Why don't you get an old 440 door from a scrappy and experiment!
