The rings pop right out with a flat head protected by electrical tape.
SEM is hands down the best paint. I'm painting my caddy in it.

Plasti-dip is great stuff.

Whatever you do choose to use, I have two VITAL tips:

1: good prep will make or break your job. Sand and prime well.

2: Depending on what paint you use, it can take weeks for it to fully cure. Curing is beyond drying, as it can be fully dry to the touch for weeks and still be scratchable. Now that my paint is fully dured (months later), it is very hard to scratch by hand. This includes the clear coat....
