Is there a way to remove and paint the ring of plastic that goes around the outer air vents (the ones not closest to the radio) with out removing the entire dash?

i think that the plastic rings that your talking about dont come off its all molded together. bit every once in a while you can find chromed plastic rings that fit right over that ring one bay and you could just paint those
