Plastic below windshield

Has anyone attempted to take off the big plastic piece below the windshield where the wipers are at? Mine has started to fade thanks to the sun and I'd like to paint it, wondering if anyone had tips or opinions.

Thanks

shouldn't be too tough to take off, though you'll need to take the wipers off.

Much easier to get a dressing or treatment for it. Something like armadillo (forget who makes it) or G6 from chemical guys. Also saves labor, no need to remove. If you're set on painting it, you may wanna think about just plastidipping it.
