To get the molding off you need to take off the black plastic thing that is connected the side back windows. After the plastic thing is off theree is a screw that holds that long molding on....then slide the molding twards the front of the car...plastic holders are really brittle so take your time.

Amen to that. The little white clips will break even when your not trying to get them off. Be very careful! Because once they're off they're off

well since you're gonna paint them, once you get them off, sand it off, and then spray.
be prepared to goto the honda dealer for some of those clips. them biatches like to break.

i did it on one side......looks crazy nice, gonna do the other side next day i have off

but once u take the piece that holds the trim on there, u also have to unbolt the window so u can get at the bolt that holds the trim piece on :-/ didnt like that too much, but i got it done, looks great. gonna have to use some polish tho, its scratched up a bit
