I just finished painting my dash.
Turned out great.

I purposely tried scratching it, but didn't even scratch!

Here's what I used.
First, Bulldog paint adhering promoter. Since the dash on the max is oil based plastic, regular paint won't stick. This will make those problem surfaces a "no problem" for the paint.
For the paint, I used "Plasti-coat Ultra Vinyl" This is paint made for dashboards. I used Smoke silver Metallic, awesome color. I applied about 7 light coats. Light coats will dry faster, and will resist scratching...by layering the paint. Finally, I applied "Plasti-coat Acrylic clear coat" to give it that shine, and protection. I applied about 5 light coats of this, and it looks awesome.

To all who will be doing this...Good luck!
It's worth the time and effort!

 

i wanna see some pics. And how long did it take you to pullout your dash?

 

for real man get some pics, and which parts did u paint?

 

sorry guys...haven't developed any pictures yet.

Well, I just did the middled console.
Starting with the vent to the shifter.
It took about 30 min to take out the dash.
Seperating the vents, that's a tricky part.
