How do you remove the stainless trim ring from the dash hole on a 32 pickup an not screw it up. Want to reuse it after painting dash
 
There is a split in the oval ring, usually at the top if installed correctly, that can be (gently) pushed/pryed downward at one end, then the other, which will sort of collapse the oval and allow the trim to then be removed (gently, very carefully...) without screwing it up. There are many around that are damaged,
so sometimes it may not be easy...
 
Put the bottom in first, get the top into position and spread it until the joint falls into place. (If too much paint used, just adds to the grief...) Might have to GENTLY tap one end with a small punch to get it to go...
