Remove the dash rail, instument panel, and the steering column. To paint it correctly you will need to roughen the original paint and apply a primer. You will need to mask off the headliner, door panels and anything else that could absorb paint mist. Removing the steering column will make access a whole lot easier.

Can I just drop the steering column or do I have to remove it from the car totally?
