How to remove door handle trim

Im sure many of the 2007 model owners have problem with their door trim paint, did anyone re-paint them ?

How to open each without damaging ?

and what paint protector should i go for when i finish with the painting ?

what about the steering wheel trim ? is it easy to remove and put back ?

I though about painting mine but since my car is still under warranty I had them replace it for free.
However it's the same cheap paint that was there originally, if it scratches up easily again I will just have it painted with any quality paint.

I couldn't tell you how to remove the steering wheel trim either as I had the dealer replace mine since it was coming apart at one end.

for the door pull handles there are no screws or bolts, you need to pry it up from the corner safely and patiently else u will end up scratching it more, as for the steering wheel, go to the DIY for the sports pedal to get the center off, then u need to unscrew a few from the back of the wheel after getting the covers off and thats about it.
