Is it cracked at all?

If there is no cracks, just box that baby up and send it to me, and I'll send you one painted any color you like

I restored my entire interior using SEM paint. It's a good idea to clean it well first and then use adhesion promoter. Figure another 35 bucks for high quality supplies but then it will be mint!

I hope you mean black on the upper.....I did a show car for a friend a few years back and dyed/painted everything below the upper dash and upper door trim in tan. it really looked way better then I thought it would.

I too will vouch for SEM. I did a lot of my trim with THIS.

Why do you want to paint the un-cracked dash? Are you going to be painting it a color? Or is it some sort of faded that your tire shine has not solved, and you want it black.

If you going with a color, just save your self some trouble and buy a dash cap and paint that, then stick it over your exsisting cracked dash. You could sell your un-cracked dash and probably turn a pretty profit after all is said and done.

Just hate to see a "perfect" dash get rattle canned. Its your though man.

clean your dash with acetone and paint it with a simi flat paint, Do not use a gloss paint a it will blind you in the sun.

Point taken. I like the idea of using tire shine to address the faded areas. Thanks

black magic or turtle wax ICE total interior care work great on shining up dash pads, go with the ICE if you want a clean non shiny look, and black magic if you want a blinding shine

if its discolored dupicolor [and others] sell paint for painting vinyl and plastic at your local auto parts store.
