    open the vent fully. slip 2 fingers in the center vent hole (pervs keep your comments) and then just pull out. next, there are 4 tabs on the chrome trim keeping it and another piece (black plastic) adhered to the actual vent "cup".

    use needle nose pliers w/ some electric tape to prevent marking.



    Steps are taped off. haning w/ the honey dew for a few, then i'll be cleaning the chrome and then spraying the steps! :peace:

    hot DAMN those steps look GOOOOOD! I just did 1 super light coat, barely dusting the chrome. the 2nd coat i sprayed light, evenly. nice slow spray, about 1-2"/second. All sprays are 7-9" away (approximately the length of the can). The final coat was sprayed about 3-4"/second, about 10" away. I went over it twice this way, so the final coat 3rd coat was really 3&4 light coat together. I am letting it bake right now for 1hr, then I'll hit it with the clear. Pics tomorrow when its light out again!
