That should remove any oils or dirt for happy painting!
Alcohol is fine, but Acetone eats plastic. Don't use Acetone on plastic!

Congrats on the JK Rockd, but more importantly, God Bless You and all of your compatriots who serve this country.

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.






Yeah... i totally stole your idea. looks effin awesome though. so much classier. you can also see my daystar dash upgrade too.

I just did mine and I love it.

One thing - I'm thinking of doing the middle sections of the shift knob and tcase knob.

Anyone taken these off before? How?

Cheers.
