Well, if u had taken out the transparent plastic plate, u have to unscrew 2 screws in upper part, and slip off around it.<P>U can do it without taking out gauges out of ur car.<P>it took me 2 minutes<P>Painting: i used normal silver spray, and varnish<P>------------------<BR>shawnm<BR>MX-3 red blaze...POLAND<BR>UIN 21934953<BR>shawnm@wp.pl

Use alcohol a sponge and wipe it down good.<BR>I used Satin Krylon for mine, and it gives it a good clean look, not like Glossy and nasty. I dont really like that look. My dash was done the same way.<P><P>------------------<BR>Barry Clark<BR><I><B>Moderator</B></I><BR>1995 Mazda Mx-3 RS<BR>Chaste White<BR><A HREF="http://www.barrykclark.com" TARGET=_blank>barrykclark.com</A> <BR> barrykclark@hotmail.com
