Default Faded Trim Molding

Hello,

I have a 2005 Silverado 2500 HD that i recently bought and the Trim molding on the truck has faded and is now a cream color. I want to either remove completely or remove, and make it black. I didn't know how hard the removal would be, or if it would be cheaper to just replace them. Please let me know your thoughts and opinions.

Thanks in advance

Just remove them. Take some fishin line and go back and forth behind it. Then take an eraser wheel on the end if a drill and "erase" the tape holdin it on. Then take a clay bar and use it to get rid of the ghost marks from the tape and then wax over it

Where can i get an eraser wheel from? I looked at Lowes, and Northern Tool, but i can't find it. Is it called something else?


Thanks.
