Default Side Molding Question

So like most people are doing with their XJ's, I was thinking of removing the side molding on mine. The only thing that is keeping me from doing it is I know the PO repainted the whole Jeep, and I don't think that they took the molding off, because I believe they said it used to be black and they painted it the body color. Does anyone know if I were to take the molding off, it would look bad since it has been repainted? I just don't want to take it off and find old paint lines or something showing.

I mean I know it has been repainted, I'm just not sure if there would be paint lines or not? I'm not really experienced with paint/body work. Also if I start to peel it back, would I be able to get it back on straight?
