Real easy. Read my first post's link. Use a brand new exacto knife. Very lightly cut the edge you need. It works, it does not cut your paint if done right.

I keep hoping there is some way other than that. I want to do the trim on the CTS-V bronze to match the wheels, but I do NOT want to muck about with an exacto blade next to the paint. Not on this car anyway.

I've been thinking about dipping the sportcross white, it has Very Nice black (read, not a single stone chip, scratch, or blemish) onyx paint. I'm not particularly a fan of black cars but it was the best one I could find. I would love to protect it somehow, I'm torn between a wrap and a dip. Wraps seem absurdly spendy for something you tear off and throw away when you're done, dip scares me. I'm concerned it'll do more harm than good.

White attracts dirt like a small child. At least it did on the motorcycle tank.
