it doesnt look as good as the original color of the trim but i just cant stand that some part of the trim specially the one with the volume button paint is chipping off
it has just a little to it but tried the nail polish remover if it can do the trick heres some pics tell me what you guys think
before, (it wasn't this worse i already tried a little bit)
after:
i was doin my cf wrap
so im still thinking of just let it look like this or just wrap it also with cf

OP - that's a good idea. I'd wrap it in CF.

i have some extra black carbon fiber left if you want to use some.... could be a nice contrast... too much titanium could look bad imo. otherwise leave it.
methinks this good idea could be

Why dont you just retouch it with soft rubber paint that i researched for you. Don't just do a half done job. I just don't recommend spraying the whole car
