Question How to remove Interior trim for Painting/Dying?

I want to remove and dye some of my interior trim pieces but I'm not sure how they come off? I want to remove all the air vents, the powerwindow control trim and the door handle trim so I can add a two tone scheme. I've never had the interior apart and don't know for sure how to do it. The pieces look as though they should just pop out....

The Vents Come Off With The Whole Trim.... Put Your Car In 1st Gear Then Just Start Popping The Clips Off...

The Door Handle Bezel Should Be Able To Be Worked Out With A Flat Bladed Tool, As It Is Just Held In With Spring Type Clips

The Switch Bezels Have A Screw Retaining Them So You Will Have To Take The Complete Door Panel Off

I know Eastwood makes a really trick set of soft rubber pry tools, just for this. I used them before, and they work great.
