Im no painter, but I would like to get my 78 ready for the paint/body shop by removing all mouldings, lights, door handles etc.....


My father is a car dealer and has somewhat limited knowledge on the painting/body work process. He told me I should remove all the previous mentioned things in order to save the paint man time and save me money.... Is it worth it to spend the extra dough by letting the paint man remove my stuff or is it simple enough for even a novice to remove and replace?? I can get the grill/headlights/parking lights/taillights/door handles without worrying, but the mouldings around the windows are worrying me. Could I find a tool at autozone to remove the mouldings and how would I replace them after painting??

Thanks
