It's not hard at all to take off, I removed mine last week and made some holes for my washer nozzles.

Whatever you do, don't paint it some gay color. Black. That's it. IF you go to an auto body supply store, they will usually have a spray paint especially for black exterior trim pieces. I know SEM makes a paint specifically for it.

If it's just faded, I'd try some rubbing compound and elbow grease first. Then you don't need to worry about removal and masking and crap. Rubbing compound refreshed all my window molding.
