Default Black pillar trim

Hello! This is my first post and I hope I can find can find an answer

The black "sticker" cover by the window pillars are peeling. I was thinking of taking a heat gun, removing the rest of the pillar sticker covering and putting a coat of Duplicolor primer, black trim paint, adhesion promoter, and clearcoat. What do you guys think? Has anyone else done this or some other fix?

Thanks in advance.

I just clean off the glue and use a mild scuff pad then a precleaner and than light coats of a euro-black paint, I never use the clear as the tape is a flat color. also a hairdryer used between coats helps to cure the paint.
