Painting the dash is not an easy process at all. Not to mention getting it all to go together with squeaks and rattles. If you're planning to rattle bomb it, it will look horrible. If you don't already know how to paint with a gun, don't even try.

I beg to differ although have experience with Rattle can, Airless paint Sprayer, Air Spray system conventional, and both forms of HVLP systems Self contained and Air spray Conversion. I am experienced in all these both in operations and repair of said products. :shock:

ok now its definatlly time for my .02 here. Ive been painting for about 10yrs. An if you have the right tip on a rattle can and you have a good idea how to paint it will look just as good. I know this as fact becauase the auto body shop i worked for used a rattle can for most of its smaller repairs like a keyed up car or road rash and rubs. i do agree that a cheap wally world can of spray will look like something out of the back end of a dog but a paint shop blend put in a can with a quality fan tip works great.

Was that the TrailReady SFA Libby? I like the lack of "knee-basher" on the passenger side.

The plastic is actually very easy to paint as long as you prep correctly first. Clean with a mild solvent over and over and over and over again if youve ever put and Armor All or that type of thing on it. I actually used some xylene to clean mine and if I let it sit for longer than a few seconds it would start to eat the plastic. I just did the trim pieces black as you can see in the pic but it changes the whole dash look for the better....
