how do you remove the overhead console?

If you look at the end of it above the windshield, there is a hole. In that hole there is one super long screw that goes into the roof. Remove the screw from the hole and slide the whole console forward, there are two tabs that rest on the back of it that keep the console from falling down. Disconnect the harnesses and it pops right off....

If you plan on painting I reccomend taking the whole console apart and prepping all of the lids seperate....lots of screws are involved here

That looks awesome. I've been thinking of painting my entire interior a charcoal color or some variant. I like the texture so could I just clean the surface and get to painting or does it require some sanding?

Thanks man

Texture IMO looks weird. BUT, if you don't sand it, you need to clean the plastic super well so that there is no oil or grease in the low parts of the texture. Then hit the plastic with adhesion promotor to be safe. Sanding it just allows for a smooth, glossy look.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I got another project to get to. I'll be sure and take some before and afters.

im changing my whole interior to black so check my thread i got in the near future gonna start teardown this week

smoothing and painting the dash to match my exterior paint

 

[TruckBoss223]

Ok so after viewing this thread i decided to do the same and paint my interior. did everything black except the air vents which i did chrome which doesnt look to bad, the only thing is i did almost the entire dash area to get rid or wear and tear and i left the pattern on the plastic

now if someone could point me in the right direction how do you remove the cigarette light plugs and covers. my entire dash is apart except that piece. i took out the 4 black clips on each corner and that didnt do anything

thanks for you help

You did a good job on painting. I've done the same to my ride before your post. I have the grey interior too. And I accented it with black...I did chrom on my vents and that speaker grill on the door tho...I'm currently repainting it all, considering I did a horrible job first time. I'm bout halfway done with my second time. And everything looks good. I like how simple it is to mod our trucks...as for the tan interior favoring fella..I don't agree with. Gray matches everyting...a buddy o mine has tan interior in his emerald green 95 ck. Good job painting...color scheme sucks
