I'm considering doing this as well. Has anyone had any issues with the heat gun making the paint come off? I've also read of using fishing line, also concerned about the paint with that one. Ive thought about just dumping adhesive remover all over them to see if that works or at least makes it easier.

Unfortunately there is no guaranteed foolproof method. Removing underlying paint or incurring other damage is sometimes determined by what someone else may or may not have done previously while working on the area. You could be somewhat at the mercy of the previous guys ability, attention to detail or amount of money they wanted to spend. You just have to dig in and see where it takes you.

Search under my username for posts. I have posted many shots of my FB sans side moulding. It's the only way to go IMO.
You can also see images on my photobucket account (it should be in my sig...wireless interwebs that i'm leaching at work is slow as hell...)
