Anyone know any tips or advice to get the woodgrain sticker trim off? I have all the original trim and I'm trying to redo it.

I use an industrial model "hair dryer" to heat the woodgrain and it peels off very easily. You have to play with the heat as it works better if you don't overheat it. I don't know if a regular hair dryer will work but you could try one if you have access to it.

I used "Goof-off", just spread it out in small sigments (2 ft at a time) at a time....let sit for about five-ten minutes...off it comes (keep off the painted areas, unless you are repainting). Also get a window screen spline tool, has two different size rollers...helps roll/work out those dings in the trim while you have it off!!!

Good Luck!!!
