cool just make sure to use the adhesive promoter because the paint will not always cling to the material and any slight scratch will expose old paint

Dont use exterior paint, it comes out like ****. Dupli Color makes interior paint that works great I have done a few dashes that came out, looking almost OEM. But keep in mind your interior will smell for a week or two.
