Interior Trim Painting
Just spent the last hour or so prying the trim off the interior of my Camaro so I could paint it and thought I'd post some pics of before/after. I only took off the steering wheel trim and the gauge bezels for now because I'm told doing the A/C vents requires the entire dash to be removed.
So here are pics before the painting and I will post pics of afterwards when it's done

Only the center piece requires removing the dash. The side ones can be removed no problem.

Push that in then gently pull each side of the airbag off. Be careful cuz there's two plugs on the back that you don't want to rip out. Then just disconnect those and the bezel pops right off

please dont forget to unplug your negative battery cable. and let the car sit 10-15 minutes before you start messing with the airbag please.. =p good luck, be gentle with the plugs, if you break a clip your airbag light comes on.

Oh absolutely. I wouldn't think of touching anything like that with the battery connected lol. I got it off successfully last night without breaking anything so should be good just running to the store now to grab some grease and wax remover then starting the paint

It's easy. Just disconnect the negative terminal on the battery - wait 15 minutes, and you're good to go.

Sounds good.. I was considering blaze blue plasti dip on gauge bezel and steering wheel bezel? Thoughts? If I go this far should I just actually paint it?
Thought was it could be reversible if needed... |

I'm sure you could get away with either really... Sidenote: Just finished the last coat of clear now so here are some updated photos (2 coats adhesion promoter, 3 base coat, 4 clear coat btw) First: before clear, Second: after clear. I've also painted my key fob as well but it's not shown in the pictures. I'm letting the paint dry overnight and will do installation tomorrow
