Default Remove door trim around lock/unlock and window switches

just wondering if anyone has removed the item metioned in the subject box because I am trying to get it off to paint it because some of the paint was chipped away when I bought it

the black covers on the handle turned out decent but have some sanding marks when looked at up close. I'm gonna do the trim around the door lever and the lever itself gray. the trim around the swithes need the most paint (blow up pic #4 and see why(look close))
