Im currently using Plastikotes Dash and trim paint er something.Its only $5 a can at Advance Auto Parts.I would suggest prepping very well before coating though.Cleaning with mineral spirits and water should be good enough though.VHT makes a spray dye that is supposed to be great too.

I use SEM brand products from my local paint and body supply store. I prep with castrol super clean and a green scotchbrite first then rinse it and dry it before using a wax and silicone remover on the whole surface to eliminate any traces of oils that may remain. Next would follow a tack rag after which you don't touch it. Finally, paint it to achieve hiding.

dash kits look like rubbish.
no one wants a quater inch of material sticking out from the original plastic.
a good spraying is better than a dash kit any day of the week, and twice on Sundays

You do understand that this is the COSMETIC section, right?

A professional dye/spray job is just as good if not better than any dash kit.

Oh sorry, forgot the world revolved around you. What else would you like us to do? Tell us please since everyone wants our car to look EXACTLY like yours just the way you have it and want it to look like.

Everyone here has differents tastes and preferences. I don't even understand why the mods allow bigoted comments like yours exist especially in the cosmetics forums.

The world does rotate around me because I'm the man...

Actually 200 outkast correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the point of this place to opinionize peoples decisions and give thoughts on it.. because YOU WOULDN'T ask if you didn't want to know....

Paint is busted... Looks so cheap... Keep on ricen, but I think u need a Honda not a Nissan.....
