I know how to remove the blades from the side vents, but you don't really want to do it.

I removed my driver's side because the vent slats were all out of track and floppy.

Best thing would be to remove the vent units and mask off the vents carefully and paint them, but leave them fully assembled if at all possible. If you open it up and remove them, it will make painting easier but they'll go every which way and then you will have a big hassle getting them back in right and going left right and up and down like they do now.
