Just wondering what type of paint to use on my dash fascia and console. What have members used before? I would like to use my leftover 2 pak body paint but I know that's probably bad. Articles on the web say to gun spray a adhesion inhibitor and then color coat but they don't specify what type of color coat. Some also say to use a "flex" mix ?

Yea mick looks good in black but I want bright ass orange. Really thinking of using my leftover 2 pak over primer. Just so it matches the body.

there is plastic primer you can get then just prep it right- should be able to paint it with your left overs. others have painted the dashes with 2 pak. dont see an issue treally if you prep it ok.

mate go down to supercheap or any store like that grab some scotch brite give the dash a good scuff and use a plastic primer. you will need a spray gun or know someone who does have one. before spraying anything make sure to clean it aswell. so spray the plastic primer then wait a couple minutes then the color of your choice. hopefully that sounds like it makes some sense.

Yea mik didn't you know "bright ass orange" was a special edition color only in the 70's. Haha. I better be careful saying "ass" when you're in a thread.
