Hey guys,

Noob question but, I'm thinking of painting/spaying my centre piece, I'm on about the secton where the dials are for the heat, hazards blah blah, the plastic around it.

But, I'm not too sure how to get it off, does it involve unscrewing the two nails at the bottom and the one nail at the centre bottom?

Thanks for helping.

The is a torx screw at the bottom and 2 behind the blank buttons on the dash. I think thats it.

its not nedded, just a waste of time

decent wet sand after primer

the only reason you should sand between coats is if you have a run
