| | Painting Dash
Anybody know of the steps involved in painting the dash, any prepping involved?? Mine is Gray, I would like to paint it Black, with the air vents red.

remove the whole damn thing, which takes about 4 hours lol, unless you want to gut your interior and mask off the windows and spray bomb it still IN the truck

Use Krylon Fusion paint; It adheres to plastic with little to no prep involved. Just clean and spray.

You could mask off everything with tape and drop clothes or something that the paint wont soak through

I think you should, especially if you use Krylon fusion, it dries in about 10-15 mins and I usually do 3 coats. It goes by quick so that way it wont turn into a huge project. Just tape off, use a razor to get exacts on the taping and you should be good. Start with light coats so it wont run because you will be painting at awkward angles.

i would suggest u take everything out... tedious of course but at least you'll make sure ur gonna avoid getting paint anywhere else on ur car... also, ive never used kyrlon fusion... but i would personally sand it first just to make sure the paint sticks... i would hate having to re-do the whole process if the paint starts to peel
