It's a sample DIY. Buy some pry tool to remove the trim and wrap them with some 3M film. Should cost you less than 50$ i guess. And a little bit of patience as well. Good luck

Take my advice and do not do plasti dip. I used the black with the glossifer and it came out funky. Not glossy enough and rough texture. Remove all the trim which is easy, but be careful with the plastic trim parts as they can crack easily. Stick with vinyl. should cost around 70-80

I think it should be the same for the coupe. Lower trim needs to be lifted up. Looking at coupe pictures the upper trim should be one piece going front to back like the sedan hold by plastic clips. Some gentle pry work required.

I see what you are saying. The trim sits on the upper front door.
So could be the same thing as the lower trim. You need to remove it from its track i guess.
