Start at the bottom and work your way up. A few pieces will pop off, the controls themselves, along with the stereo and instrument cluster, have screws holding them in place.

Care to explain how youre going to dip it in paint? You mean hydro coating? If so its more than just dipping.

Yeah that hydro coating. Easy to do and should be very cheap. See if anyone local to you does it also.

I had to start on the bottom, but I have a Mega Cab. Do you have the cup holders on the floor?

They are not stuck to the floor they fold out of the bottom of the dash below that little storage area below the controls
