I agree with him, any time that I have seen somebody try to dye their dash it looks like ****. I have seen people try to paint it also, and then the paint cracks, guess waht it looks like ****. I would say don't do it.

I've done it and all i get are complements, people dont believe me when i tell them i did it myself. It hasnt cracked, faded, or chipped. And when it gets dirty, which takes a long time, a mosit sponge cleans it up. You gotta make sure you use the right spray paint. Go to a home depot or other hardware store and get EPOXY spray paint, it has to be epoxy so it becomes hard enough to resist chipping. And make sure you do a couple coats on whatever you paint. Good luck!

can some one explain the process to me? If I wanted to paint some parts of my interior, which parts could I paint? How could I get them, and what or how do I paint them? I am really ignorant, but would love to try it myself!
Thanks
MacLean

Good luck with that. I hear it takes a lot of time and patience to get it right. Not the easiest thing to do.
