Here are some of pictures, I found the paint also at Home Depo, it was @ $6. I think It came at nice, the paint I also used on my passenger door handle. Plan to use it on the steering wheel trim.

Removing the Cover, it was pretty scratch and scuff from trying fit odd size objects in the hatch pass couple of years. lol

I drilled out the emblem, very easy, the aluminum coating was starting to wrinkle, so I removed it to paint it.

Fast forward to the end, I painted the emblem flat black, and glued it back on, the cover I also did not clear, but gave it a good final coat.

I need a bit of help i want to wrap that part with the 3m carbon fiber but how do I remove it.
Do i stick a small screwdriver on the sides on the top and it should just pop out??
is there a link out there to remove these trim pieces?
