I prolly shouldn't have painted them when there was snow on the ground. I don't think that the paint dried as it should have. But I think they still turned out really well.

Both. Put the JK in the top center and put the Painted Jeep emblem in the lower right corner.

I know I'm late to this but let me chime in. I painted all the yellowing computer monitors and thermal receipt printers at work in Krylon Fusion black and they turned out great, and I really blew off the prep part. If you handle them before a week they kinda scratched easily, but if you allow it the full week cure I found it is really durable.

Default Removal?

How do you remove the Vents?? not sure if someone posted that or not... just want to make sure I dont snap them in half when i remove them.

Also how did you paint the steering wheel arms?

for the vents all you need to do is twist them and then pull back. Depending on what one you do is the way you turn it.

You have a 99.999% chance of breaking the retainer clips if you pull them off. I broke em, but they don't fall off. I am thinking how to make stick in place they slide out a little now.

Clockwise, if I remember correctly. They only go one way. Twist by the bezels, not the grills.
