How to remove console chrome trim

I have a console (cup holder style) that I would like to paint and need to remove the thin chrome piece that goes around the top. Can anyone tell me the best way to remove this for cleaning and painting?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Scott

Seperate top section from bottom part and turn over and gently straighten the folded over tabs from the botton side.

Did I buy a AM/FM fadio from you a while back?

Thanks for the info guys, just what I needed.

You might have, I did sell one on the board a year or so ago.
