Default Paint Halo

Guys,

I would like to remove the halo off my coupe to paint black but for the life of me cant figure out how to do it.

Can someone please give me some info on how to do it. I see a write up for the c6 but can't find anything for the c5.

Thank you,
Javi

You'll just have to mask it off and paint it on the car.

Actually it would come off, but it is bonded on with panel adhesive which, while possible, would be a PITA to do. I removed the rear decklid and all the weatherstrip from the front as well as the rear fenders, then covered mine in carbon fiber.

If you take it off, you will really have some problems.
