Ya wanna paint your dash here is what I did-
1.Firstly remove the cluster surroundings by gently levering one side with a flat object and pull it slowly. (do a search in this forum, its being covered and some even post a pic)
2. Wash it or degrease it with a degreaser (thats what I did)
3. Grab a spray paint shake it well and do a very light coat over it. (Do it in a warm day or the finish will be dull - Not a good thing)
4. Keep doing the coats until all areas are covered (make sure you give it enough time between coats - say 3 min the least)
5. After finish coating laeve it in a warm place to quicken the drying process. (best way to do this is leave it in the car and leave the car out under the sun or crank up the heating in your house)Personelly I left it outside facing the sun for half an hour.
6. Do the same with other plastic interior bits.
simple as.

i did it on a ncie sunny day, dried very quickly!!! If its sunny just wait 2-3 mins inbetween coats, once all areas are covered do 1 more coat just to finish it off. Make sure to only do light coats otherwise the paint will run. Before putting it back in your car make sure it is completely dry (not only touch dry) as i scratched mine a bit witht he screw driver when putting it back in.

Yeah just can't wait to put her on 18" rims,
To tr3nt, I didn't use any primers cos I use the plastic Vynl paint that requires no primers.
I think primer should be used on very smooth surfaces where the paint can easy be scrubbed off.
