Trim for the bed

I know this has probably been discussed before but I did a search and could not come up with what I was looking for. I put a new bed on my 94 F150 and it does not have the same trim line that came standard on the F150. Anyone have any idea where I could get the trim from or a good way to remove it from the old bed? I have tried in the past with my 85 and it was a real pain to get it off and when i did it didnt look good enough for me to want to put it back on the truck.

Actually, theres a type of pad, that is FOR removing the trims' adhesive....i can't remember the name of it, sadly.....

Some of the other members' on here have used it, and gave it good references...

3M makes an eraser that fits a drill and it will remove trim adhesive, pinstripe,etc without damaging the paint. It is basically a round rubber wheel. I have one and it works like magic. I love it.
