Changing the center dash vent trim - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

In my quest to have "no shinings" on the exterior & interior, I'm looking for solutions for the trim around the vent.

Any serious ideas?

Why not uninstall it and hit it with Plasti Dip? It is not perm. so you could always take it off with not damage.
The finish will be very close to the door and trim panels in color and texture.

sorry for the wrong section... mods please move.

Uninstall it? how?

IIRC I read that you have to remove the dash to pull the center vents and trim. Not a fun job if that is correct.

I do not think you have to pull out the entire dash, because recently I read a thread about someone painting theirs white, and they did not remove the dash.

+1. Go with a dark gray or black.
