Trim Removal Help???

I need to take my trim pieces out(Dash/Steering wheel/Door switches) to paint them but I'm having a hell of a time. Can anyone give me a quick how-to of how they did it? Any vids?

Thx

First pop out the lower trim below the steering wheel with alil force the clips will pop at the top.
Second with force or a screwdriver(carful so i cant break or scratch) pry the clips out or use hands with force.
Thiird pull the trim the same way that is on the right side of the steering wheel.
Fourth Remove the long peice on the passanger side there is 4 clips may be lil tough but just use force but be careful it will break i worked mine from the end to middle to other end.
lastly remove the peice around the radio(this has to be last) there is 2 clips at the top and 2 at the bottom and i think in the middle as well.

If you want to remove the peice around the speedo there is 2 screws in the top of the bezel and 2 bolts that are on both sides of the steering wheel that was behind the trim.

If you need anything else let me know this is mine

That looks amazing!
I hadn't thought of doing the gauge area but it looks good.
I got the long piece off and now I'm just struggling with the piece to the left of the stereo...then on to the piece on the left.
I see you have about the same year as me...did the interior light adjustment knob come off with that piece to the left?

I also want the trim off the steering wheel...I see that you didn't do that part. Anyone know how to get that trim off?
