Hi there, Have you removed the plastics yet?

Basically use a blunt knife or something simular and use it to pull the air vent covers and speaker covers out.

The centre console has torx screws holding it in, T20.

As for spraying.

Yes you'll need to sand, as chances are theres some chemicals that might react with the paint.

Sand the plastics down with p100/150, so they are quite rough.

Spray them with primer

Leave to dry

Sand with high grade sandpaper, say 250-300

Spray with primer again

Leave to dry

Sand with p400

Spray with primer again

Leave to dry,

Sand with p600ish

Now spray with your colour

Leave to dry

Sand with p800

Spray again with your colour

Leave to dry

Sand with p800ish

Leave to dry

Spray again with colour

Leave to dry

Spray with Clear Laquer

Leave to dry

Spray with Clear Laquer

Leave to dry

Spray with Clear Laquer

Leave to dry

Refit them all.
