Default changing color of dash?

does anyone know how to change the color of their dash? from say grey to black?

the reason im asking is




the civic type R dash is black, and ours is grey, so when you get the doorpanels, the body lines dont flow as nice as they should. so is there no way to do this other than a big bucket of paint?

EDIT: does anyone have any pictures of the back of the hatch? IE rear seats, and trunk area? i have never seen any shots of a real one. TIA

I would like to know this also if they came in black because mine is grey and that grey they use it looks like a faded grey to me and i want black. Also not to thread jack or anything but where do you get REAL CTR floormats i can not find them anywhere all i can find is those fake *** cheap ones.

have a bodyshop take your dash out and spray it, or have an upholstry shop take the dash out and wrap it in vinyl.

Well my 96 Hatch came with a dark grey that looks almost black. The interior code is: Type K. I can't post up any pictures right now, but I have pictures of my dash I can email someone so they could post them if anyone wants to see them.
