Looks like it is two different colors, under the trim is lighter since the sun did not hit it? You may need to find a body shop to hit it with a high speed buffer and some compound.
Hard to tell from the picture as the qualty is not that good.

It looks like the cars been painted and they painted over the molding. There is virtually nothing you can do about it. You could wet sand the line out if it was in the clear only...if its actually the base coat then all you can do is put the molding back on.

I don't know if its just me, but the paint looks the same color, I think the flash of the camera is playing with the hues. When I took my molding off I used some Meguiar's paint cleaner and a buffing rag, amazing results. Maybe give that a try before you try something more extreme, good luck.
