    supercrewzn did. Iirc he used Krylon Fusion on the plastics. And some form of a Vinyl paint on the squishy parts. If he chimes in he'll let ya know for sure.

    u gotta clean the hell out of it, then use a good adhesive promotor, and spray it with a lacquer based vinyl paint.

    Cleaning and adhesion promoter is your two best friends in this project.

    Removing dash is a PITA! I had to remove it to replace heater core. I used Krylon fusion on the plastic and a vinyl paint on the soft spots. I used a red scotch brite on everything, cleaned with wax and grease remover, sprayed with adhesion promoter, then 3-4 costs of paint.

    Is there a thread that gives me an idea on removing it? Was the glare bad with krilon?

    NEVER use glossy paint, satin or matte is there plenty. and ive sprayed more than one dash with it in the truck. just tape everything off with painters tape and to provide good light dont cover the windshield with paper, use cling wrap instead. If you insist on removing the dash REPLACE THE HEATER CORE! its super cheap and preventative maintenance.
