    I recommend that you DO NOT take the instrument panel out of the
airplane.
It is an unbelievable amount of work to do this.  As Don Cooley says,
remove all
the instruments, but then place lots of masking paper under and around the
panel,
including the back side of the instrument holes, then carefully use paint
remover.
