alright! first things first. sand it. its worth it. look at my gallery n look at my interior. i dont have pics up of my dash but its done. all sanded. go to walmart, and buy an electric sander, n use 80 grit, and take it down as much as u can, n then sand it with 220 and wet sand with 220 as well.

prime it with 3-5 coats, and wet sand before u paint. paint it 5-6 coats and wet sand every 2 coats, and clear coat it with like 7 coats. when wet sanding in between coats use 400-600 grit.

also, to take off ur dash, take the a-pillars off then remove the trim going across the glove box, radio, ect... now the very very very front is just clipped on. yank it off. theres a bunch of screws. unscrew them. same thing with under the trim. oh n be careful around the airbag. take a screw driver and pop most of the cover off. idk how to get this off, so i just left it. i hope that helps.

EDIT: lol, so i posted before i read the thread. u have the same problem as me. i guess we're both stumped. lol.

 

Getting the airbag cover off is pretty much impossible unless you cut it and take it off in pieces.
