How-To : Interior Paint Prepping by Onefastfocus02 Warning: Neither Focus Fanatics nor its Members may be held responsible for the outcome of performing such a modification to ones car(Ford Focus). Such acts are performed at ones own risk, and sole responsibility must be assumed. This may include, but not limited to, the voiding of Ford vehicles factory warranty. Always put safety first; using jackstands, eye protection, and all other required safety measures. It is also recommended to have supervision whenever possible. Items Needed: 1. 2-3 Cans of spray-paint and 1 can of clear coat. 2. Flathead Screwdriver. 3. Philips Screwdriver. 4. 8mm socket for panel underneath steering wheel. Install Time: Difficulty Level: 1-2 Days 8 Directions: Step 1 To remove the 4 vent pieces push up from the bottom and they should clip right out. Then there is the ring that is attached by little clips from behind that should be taken great care not to break the ring. The dial for airflow can be removed by popping it out of the grooves. Remember how the levers go in and which vent they belong to. They are all different lengths other wise reattaching the pieces will be a pain. Step 2 To remove the two corner vents you'll have to use a screw driver to pry them out. They have little notches that hook them into the inside holes. Step 3 To remove the ashtray just pull it out then remove the cover from the rest of the ashtray. Step 4 The glove box unscrews from the rest of the dash by 3 screws right at the joint and when it's open you'll have to squeeze the sides a little to clear the bump stops. Step 5 The panel under the steering wheel unscrews by 4 screws and has a rubber piece that should be taped off. Otherwise you'll be able to see the over spray (believe me I know from experience). The hook release will be attached which can be loosened by a wrench from the back and slid off. Step 6 The part around the gauges can also be removed by unscrewing the three screws and unclipping it from the rest of the dash. Step 7 After you have painted and clear coated the pieces, when reinstalling and reattaching the pieces be extra careful not to scratch the airflow dials.
