Vert + top down + chrome in your face = fail.
Remove the registers. Open the vents, stick your thumbs in there on opposite side and pull. They should pop right out.
1. Get a 320 grit sanding sponge...
2. A complete register.
3. Chrome ring removed. There are four tabs holding it on. Two small screwdrivers will release the ring at one end and you're in business.
4. Shows the "shine" knocked off with the sanding sponge. Wipe it down well with a lint free cloth.
5. Some twisty-ties from a bread wrapper work wonders. Construct them as shown and you now have a way to handle the ring while painting and a good place to hang it from a hook as it dries.
Don't go nuts with the rattle-can. I used two dust coats that were completely dry before I followed up with the coverage coats.
Allow to COMPLETELY dry and pop them back in.
