Default sir_bobos dash painting project. UPDATED-06/05/08

I have a 98 Civic LX sedan and I've hit a snag removing my dash for painting. Behind the cluster there are some screws facing an odd angle and it doesn't seem I can get a screwdriver in there. I'm assuming there are some on the other side also behind the glovebox. any help is appreciated.

I got my dash out today. Turns out those screws where not needed to get it out. Hopefully I'll get it in tomorrow and post up more pictures. Not sure why the dash came out all tiger striped because it doesn't look that way in person.

Doing what everyone else is, all black. It was that nasty grey color. Once I get it put back in I will begin on the doors.

Did you spray left to right and also up to down?? To avoid tiger striping, you have to do that.

Got it all in today. I need to wipe it down abit but I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I got rid of the tiger stripes that where there. Now it looks hot. If anybody is doing theirs, feel free to pm me or post and I'll try and help if I can.
