    Vent Control Knobs- how to remove

    i'd like to repaint the facia of my vent control unit (not my unit pictured), how do you remove the knobs ?
    can the blue and white 'indicators' be removed or should i just carefully mask them up ?
    TIA

    The knobs just pull off. Go ahead and yank them.

    The indicators are actually small pieces made out of a plastic material. I've had mixed results carefully removing them with a sharp, very thin blade.

    I have to say, yours looks pretty good right now!
