The "Under Dash" is the entire dash. From bottom to windshield strip. In order to paint the under part, outside the car, you have to remove the entire molded plastic dash. It is a bear to remove. And very time consuming. If you can paint it inside the car, it would be suggested.

as much time as you need to tape off the entire care to properly paint inside the car you could have taken the entire dash out. it takes an hour to do at most, and really isnt hard at all, just takes time to get all the bolts out and remove everything, removing it is definatly the best option in my opinon because it save you the risk of accidently getting paint on the interior or exterior of your car.

they most likely just pop out. youlle have to just be careful and fool around with them. the vents are in the top dash pad though so you only need to remove it to get it off. just like 8 screws and a few trim pieces, can be done in about 10 minutes.
