I have just restored a 98 Gl. Has any one ever painted the faux wood trim or taken it off mine is old and faded.

hello eppersrn, welcome to GWOF. if the faux wood is held on like the plastic chrome then there is two sided tape holding it on and a heat gun should get warm enough to get the glue soft enough so you can get the faux wood off the bike

I would think if you were sure to clean any wax and sanded it well , then primed and painted it would be fine.

If it's held on with double sided tape. You might be able to loosen it up using a heat gun or hair drier. Then clean up the plastic with rubbing Alcohol.

You can replace it as well.... rather than trying to clean all of that up. You can find this stuff on ebay.

Welcome to the site. If you're hoping to re-do the trim, I've seen kits available, Larry mentioned e-bay, and I think that's where I've seen them.
