Removing Top Dash Part

[97VSV6]

Hey, i decided to remove my dash to paint it, now im a bit stuck.

Firstly is the actual vinyl bit supposed to come off with a plastic backing or do you just peel it off?

There seems to be some rivets, how have other people got to them and cut them off?

Are you supposed to take off the long strip at the back?

Thanks
Will

After doing the whole pull the dash out to respray and then put it all back all I can say is next time I decide to do it I'm doing it in the damn car and the screws in the vents near the windscreen are a bastard!

what sort of paint did you use to paint the dash?

[Demonica]

Just used the VHT vinyl dye in satin black. Came up verrrry nice

I ve just scored a drivers side glove box that came out of a VQ statesman and need to paint it grey to suit the grey statesman interior I've got in my ute - do ya reckon I could use the same sort of stuff? It's currently blue?

Cheers
