Default Poverty caps

How does everyone take their dog dish hub caps off without damaging the painted rim? Thanks!

I use a trim removal tool and place a rag between it and the wheel surface. I also recommend putting a towel down on the ground in case the cap pops off and you don't catch it. Don't want it getting all scratched up on the pavement.

Wadded up towel against the powder coated rim and a curved prybar if I remembered to put it away last time, otherwise a big screwdriver that has never seen a screw.
