leave half of the plastic clips off when you put everything back on.

Here is a nice tip for ya:
When removing the plastic peices that are clipped in use a thin flat head screwdriver and a wash cloth between the panels and underneath the driver. That way when you are prying the peices out you arent scuffing up anything else..works great!

dont forget to clean everything REALLY well before you paint, and use some sort of clear coat so it doesn't chip/peal as easy otherwise it will look ghetto. Also might want to look into paint that is UV protected.

I have painted my interior and never use plasti dip. Dont use rustoleam universal junk. i have even tried krylon paint for plastic and it still has just came off when i did a light pass with my fingernail months later!! As far as my next choice it will be SEM paint. They have a special system for cleaning and painting. this is my next choice im done messing around with crappy paint.
