Just wondering on how I would go about removing the trim all round the car as the black has lost its blackness and is more grey than anything, want to get them sprayed up either gloss black or Matte black (also any opinion on this is worth while to me)

Depends on if it’s just stuck on or has clips. If it’s just stuck on with tape then i’d use some fishing line to get behind it then work it up and down like a cheese wire to cut it away. The sticky mess that’s left will take some getting off but it should get the trim off without damaging it or misshaping it. As i said though depends on how it’s attached

I think it’s clips in this case as it goes round the wheel arches and skirts, I see a gap I’ll give it a little nudge see what happens thanks for the reply
