Wrapped roof - what did you do about roof molding?

For those who have wrapped their roof, what did you about the molding pieces on either side? My installer told me not to wrap them because they wouldn't hold. Is my only option to paint them?

Do you have a part number? To my knowledge, they sell them primed, but not painted.

I wrapped mine 3 years ago. No issues whatsoever. Your wrap guy is probably just lazy like mine was.

Did you remove the parts to wrap them or? I want to get this done but want to make sure I understand the process. I am going to take it to a shop to get the work done.
Thank you
