you can either take it off or leave it on and just mask everything off. there are clips on the underside of the door panel and you just take those off and slide it out. (if its the same as a ek)

u have to undo the side mirror but take it off if ur going to spray it why rick overspray for an extra 10 minutes of easy work.

take it off, razor anything u can off, sand the rest then use either spray on trunk liner or just black paint. make sure to let em dry then install em back on

Take them off, spray some air craft stripper onto it, sand it, primer it, and paint it flat black.
