If its possible to pull it apart to paint the part around the gauges themselves. Why can't you paint the gauge faces?

You can do what you want, but the gauge face is actually translucent in places to allow the light for the warning symbols, high beam, indicators etc to shin through, so you would have to cover all of these before painting the rest. You can paint the mask through (the bit between the gauge face and the see through plastic). Mine is currently silver, but has been blue as well.
