Default How to remove this chrome trim piece?

Has anybody tried to remove this chrome piece around exhaust (is it just with clips or I need to unscrew something)? I am trying to take it off and get it painted. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Body shop did mine. So I don't know how to remove it. But they did a great job. I'm located in San Diego if you want a referral.

Paint and/or chrome delete with wrap are the options.

I bought Hyper Dip and mine came out really good. Took forever to tape off all of the non chrome sections and had to do about 7-8 layers of spray with some drying time in between. I have no experience with this stuff but it seems like it will hold up for a very long time and is much better than Plastidip. Looks like black satin paint once it dried
