Is there  any way to remove the trim rings without damaging  them. 


 
Tin snips? :^) 
 
The trim rings are part of the dash face plate stamping, they don't come  
off. This make painting the dash face a difficult task. 
 
I use liquid mask, available at most hobby store that carry model  airplanes, 
cars or trains. You have to brush the liquid on to the area you  don't want 
paint (the rings). This is a HUGE pain, but if you use a good fine  tip brush 
it will give great results. I give the rings two coats just to make  sure 
they're covered. I also lightly scribe around the base of the rings or help  keep 
the liquid mask on the ring. Once the paint is dry, the mask just  peels off.
