removing window strips on AF passenger cars

[leon]

I could not remove the window strips from the passenger car and decided to remove the old paint--needless to say the inserts had the figures removed also. So now I have clear windows. I figure I could glue some figures in the car. I guess I will have to decide on removing or NOT removing the old paint in order to save the inserts. Maybe I could mask off the area of the windows-paint the rest of the car-then come back and brush paint the masked area. Of course this would mean leaving on the old paint. What are your thoughts about this? I do thank all of you for your input.
