Default Need some opinions and help on this

So I am strongly liking the idea of bedlining the fender flares rocker panels and and the door panel skins black and make it black and green instead of gold and green. Any opinions? Also would it be easy to rip the rest of the door panel skins off notice how im missing the one on the drivers door? Would it be easy to take the others off? Im also going to be getting black rims in a couple of weeks

sure, take a heat gun to the trim and a putty knife and slowly pry it off. use rustoleam spray on bedliner, it's goes on nice and even and it's pretty durable.

I used the rustoleum spray on my ZJ's plastics, it really turned out nice and the stuff is very durable. Be sure to scuff and primer your parts first.

We took the molding off of my son-in-law's XJ and used the rustoleum bed coating on the flares and on the bottom belt line down. Expect to break a lot of the flare mounting studs when removing the flares.

Just peeled them off and scraped the adhesive off, that is after we removed the wood screws the PO used to keep the moldings on. We used some Bondo quick steel body filler to fill in the screw holes, can't even tell there were holes in the door.
