    I will give it a go and let you know my results. Got a busy week this week so will probably be next weekend before I can have a go at it.

    Keep the heatgun on low and at least 30cm away from the lastic. you will know if its getting to hot. Just heat it lightly as your pulling it away
    That all depends on whether it has another coat underneath the darker colour that is peeling. The light grey that is showing under the peeling paint may well be the colour of the plastic as it came from the mould. You should be able to determine that by looking at the colour on the flip side of the trim. I don't really know why they needed to paint the trim in the first place cause there's not a lot of difference between the two colours anyway.
