Default Dash/radio paint

I really want to paint my dash just like the pic below. Dash seems easy to do but the radio buttons and all seem tricky. Anyone know a special trick to doing around the radio. Thanks!

^^ yes. theres a video tutorial on ephatch on how to remove it. the only hard part is the two bolts after you remove the bottom panel. good luck!

Yes I know how to remove and paint the dash/shifter area but I'm talking about around the radio buttons. How would you spray paint that area without screwing up the function of the radio?

ohh i see. my b. but yeah i tried googling it for you but no luck and also i looked on ephatch and nothing there either besides taking the dash out. i painted my trim piece but i have an aftermarket cd player so i didn't have to worry about it.
