Finished my hatch area and Speaker panel repaint

Well This past weekend i finaly got around to finishing repainting the vinyl/plastic trim that was in the cargo/hatch area all the way to the back seat area where the speaker panels are. This whole exprience maybe cost me 75 dollars for the vinyl burgandy paint, adhesive promoter, and clear coat oh and the scotch pads. I'll have some pics up soon.
Next up the front Dash and center console.

How does the piece on the hatch come off? I was looking at it, and it looks like it just pops off... Figured I'd ask before I broke mine...

here's a few pics of mine

very easy.. I've only spray painted a few times before i did mine. apply thin coats of the color, and a medium coat of clear. if you put the clear on too thick, it will run. if you put it on too thin, it will be dull
