I want to paint the doors in a different colour but I have no idea how to remove the chrome trim without breaking it. Any ideas?

The trim around the door frame? Block of timber and a hammer on the inner top edge of it.

If you dont mind scratchin you paint you can very very carefully get a flat blade screwdriver under it and lift a section a little bit at a time. Do a little bit on the inside, then a bit on the outside and work your way along.

A nice wide blade paint scraper to spread the force evenly and take it slow and easy.

And it's a pain to get back on.....you have to use new clips and put on both the inner and outer bits at the same time.
