Like, the center piece and the window switch panels and stuff? Or the whole dash?
I painted mine a long long time ago and after a couple of weeks I hated it, and wanted to go back. I ended up buying some dash pieces off of here to go back to stock. With that said, if you still want to paint your stuff, pull it all out of the car (naturally), give it a once over with some sandpaper, spray on a couple layers of primer, then at least 3 or 4 layers of color. Once it has hardened you can sand it and install, but I would then suggest spraying a few layers of clearcoat on it, sanding to a smooth finish, and then installing. There are a few how-to's floating around on this forum for how to do this. Take a few minutes and search. But my personal opinion is that painted dash pieces are silly. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
