Wallpaper for my Apache pop up RV--contact paper

I really don't like this plastic gold strip.  I saw another person cover it with contact paper so I gave it a shot.  I really like it.

I got a good system for putting it on so I thought I'd share.  The key is overlapping onto the metal and smoothing with this spatula.  

 I ran my finger nail along the metal ledge several times and then very gently trimmed the contact paper with a razor.

 It peels right off.
