Hey everyone, have a 99 blue XJ, drivers door got banged up bad from a hit and run, so looking to replace with a door from local junkyard.

They have a matching paint color door from the same year (Pq7) but in the classic trim package with painted trim.

My question is, can you cleanly remove this painted trim as easily as the unpainted black plastic trim on the sport models? I previously removed my faded black trim on my sport from the doors, and was able to easily buff out adhesive etc with no marks left. So I want this new door to match if I get it, it needs to have the color matched trim taken off.

Example of body matched trim I'm talking about in photo below

Thanks everyone

 

Ya those should pop off no problem. Little bit of fishing line should do the trick.

 

My suggestion would be to remove all of your side trim and repaint ALL of your side cladding in PQ7 (Gunmetal Pearl) to match your Jeep. You should sand ALL of them down and repaint them. so that they all match, and I'd even go as far as having the paint color-matched to make sure everything matches.
