Hello all, I’ve done a lot of research and haven’t found anyone that has removed the silver trim and painted it. I have seen people wrapping it, but not removing and painting so I figured I would give you an update.
I have heard a few people say that the silver trim on the door panels is not removeable, which isn’t entirely true. The pieces are plastic welded on, so as long as you have some JB weld, you can put everything back with no issue, the bulk of the trim snaps off with clips though.
I’m in the process of removing all the silver, and painting it Delmonico Red with Mopar Touch Up paint to color match with the exterior of my vehicle. This is a pretty painstaking process as the mopar paint comes in a can about half the size of a regular paint can, which I wasn’t aware of, so I’ve got to order more paint. I’ve got about half of the trim painted, and will be completing it once the rest of my paint comes in.
If you’ve got any questions about the process let me know, all of it is pretty easy with the exception of the door panels, where you have to break the welds and then just JB weld them back together once reassembling.
I will post more photos of the process as I go, and post completed photos when finished.
