One other Q... I have been thinking of doing the ignition key surround rosette as well.. do you have to remove the entire dash to remove this? How do the ignition surround trim release?

thanks,

On my 97 the key trim ring is held on by a sticky type of tape/goo, you just pull it off.

Went with Duplicolor engine enamel - Aluminum. Closest match to my factory interior trim. Test piece came out great. Covered with few coats of acrylic enamel.

Like folks have harped here, prep is key or you will be sanding down the paint later on for sure. Best primer is the Rustoleum automotive primer. Covers scratches and nicks very well. Duplicolor primer doesnt come close.
