Interior parts removal

Anyone know how to remove the steering wheel button shrouds and the interior chrome strips on the doors? I would like to have them painted.

Thanks

The airbag on the steering wheel must be removed first, and then you can access the screws holding the "shrouds" that surround the buttons. There is a how to somewhere.

Those pieces are part of the door panel. Whether you remove the door panel or leave in place, you'll need to mask off the area of the door panel and then paint.

(please ignore the actual chrome strip that arc's around)
