As for taking the pieces apart, there is DIYs on here for that and the areas you cant find DIY for you just have to figure it out. The triple gauge cluster is the trickiest and the rear strut brace requires you to remove basically every interior panel from the console back lol. If you knock it out 1 thing at a time its not bad, and as for wear/chiping no issues if prep and paint are done properly..
I assume you lose the ability to read the words on the steering wheel controls, correct?
