I used the Mopar primer, matching paint and clear coat. The duplicolor is the more cost effective way to go tho.

Was it a pain the A$$ to take the cluster out or to get to the gauges... How did u get to them

The Rescue Green looked sick!! Very nice, I likeee! I ordered the Flame Red today from the dealer (5oz. spray can). I already used Krylon's plastic paint to act as a primer til I get the dealer stuff.

I got my jeep in and was going to try this. My vents just spin around is that the way ya'lls do? Is there something I am missing to get these things out? They way I understand I thought they would only turn so far and take them out. I am a newbie and don't want to tear anything up. Thanks for your help.

You have to turn it by the bezel, its maybe a 1/4 turn and wont turn anymore and just pull it out...
