   Hi guys
   
   Going to take my centre console, speaker covers and inside door handles out and spray them red.. Got a few questions before I do it
   
   On the centre console how do I take off the air con dial and the air con it self. I want to keep them black.
   
   Also what is the best way to paint it, is it best to sand it down and get some red spray paint and clear laqor
   
   Hope you guys can help please
   
   Ross

   saxo's dont have aircon.
   if you mean the heater knob, it pulls off, same with the sliders.
   very fine sand paper, plastic primer, sand it down again lightly, colour, laquer

   Once the console is out there is two pins which it swivels on, remove these with mole grips or similar then it should come out, just carbon wrapped mine the other day so was easier to remove everything for it
