Default Chrome trim around door

I need to respray my right rear door.. Deal is that i remove trim and other things that is nesacery and reinstall them after the painter have done their job

Wondering if anyone know if ypu have to remove the rear eletric blinds on the rear door to reveal the clips and screw (not sure about screw) for removing the chrome trim??

Or is it just enough to remove the door panel??

Regards

You won't like this answer, but here it is.
Not only you will have to remove the blind but also glass and frame to get to end rivets.
The only good news is that rivets are plastic and reusable with a middle push pin which expands 4 legs behind the hole, don't know how they are called.

Also, if it's electric blind you will need to set them into service mode in order to remove them. I think you need to drop it down and hold the button above the head for 15sec.

Removing it isn't such a big problem so I can't see putting it back being hard.
