The trim on the glove box lid comes off with 5 easy to get at screws. The trim between the steering column and door pops off.
Painting them has been done to good effect.

I recommend grabbing the trim pieces from a scrapyard, sanding them down, priming, painting and lacquering. That way, if you muck up, you're not left with dirty great big gaps in your dash!
