Trim Chalking

Anyone have any tips to improve the chalking effect on the plastic trim on the doors and either side of the bumbers (99 Sport).

Thanks

I am game for ripping them off there! So how does that look without the trim?

i think it looks better w/out the trim. it takes a while to get all the adhesive off though. i found it easiest to use a ceramic heater and just peel it back.

Cool, that looks great. I had to take vinyl logos off a fleet of trucks once, a bit of heat and some patience should clean her right up.

I will post a picture when I get it done.

Thanks all.
