The ***** on the radio are easy to paint. They just pry off of the spindles. Use an interior pry bar. I repainted mine early last year after the ***** started discoloring from use.
Now painting the buttons & controls of the HVAC & Switches below is a trick. The face plate comes off somewhat easily. That would expose everything. Then it takes a really good tape job or removal of the hardware to paint separately. Or some other technique that I can't even imagine right now. Painting all the individual ***** & controls, which all have some kind of lettering or graphic on them to indicate the purpose, would cover up those markings. Can't see whether this is the case on this redo. That would be a "show stopper" for me. In any case, quite an impressive redo. Somewhat overbearing from my perspective, but an impressive redo nevertheless.
