Steps:
1. Buy Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Coating in Silver (or any color you want)(I found it at Auto-Zone for $5.99)
2. Open the vents, turn the vent about 1/4 turn clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on which vent).
3. This will unlock the vents and they will slide right out.
4. Use a small screwdriver to remove the vent bezel (lift four small "tabs")
5. Apply 3-4 thin coats of paint.
6. Dry, and you are done. Snap the bezels back in place and put the vents back in.

The paint looks great, very even and if you clean the plastic thoroughly, it will stick well.

Looks great. Good call.

Have you seen anything like this for sale? An after market chrome ring?

Nice job Armycop! I was going to do the same thing! I already bought primer and OEM paint (bright silver ) and I just hadn't gotten around to doing it...It looks great on your Jeep! You inspired me to tackle the project this weekend. Thanks!

I was told a company was making billet aluminum ones. But its alot cheaper to paint them...

Nope, the paint job looks like it came from the factory though!

i heard that the 2008 saharas have upgraded the vent rings silver... just like this...they look pretty good.

I like it. My dash has the silver trim already, i think this looks good

(Of course, i am going to have to get to the autoparts store first, before all the red jeep owners discover that they can actually add SILVER to their rides, they'll be buying up all the SILVER paint they can get their hands on.)

Good job armycop! I like this and have been thinking about doing it as well. I was also going to do the 3 control knobs. Does anyone know if they just pull off?
