I want to try and keep my Jeep all orange and black. My next project will be the Jeep emblem on the grill or both the grill and emblem. Just haven't decided if I want to man up about the grill yet.

Have you tried using baby oil before you wheel?

Turn them counter clockwise (might be clockwise) 1/4 way and gently pull straight out. Once you get the whole vent assembly piece out, you can pop off the vent rings from the vent assembly.

Hopefully I can help you out.. I went plasti dipped crazy.

I did my mirrors, grill, gas cover and tail light guards which were all chrome. My hinges, mountain decal and my wheels. I love the look

Then I peeled off my wheels and did this look. It's great stuff. Just make sure you do 5 costs if you choose

How did you get clean lines when you peeled off the inside of your wheels? Looks great!

Thanks! While the plasti dip was still wet I peeled off the masking tape very slowly. This way here the spray didn't have time to cure to the tape. Kind of a pain but it gets the job done

Inside the vents at about the 1 o'clock position you have line up the two squares and use a small screw driver and gently pry down on, turn counter-clockwise and pull right out. Be carefully not to break the tabs when taking the ring off the vent.
