my dash has been painted for over a year now i think and still holds up fine sits in the sun fairly often and has had stuff spilt on it etc and is still pretty much perfect. i just used some plastic adhesion primer ( i think thats wat it was called anyway ) and plastic and vinyl paint, not hard at all to do

As long as you prepare the plastics properly you will have no worries with the paint falling off...and make sure you spend time masking up around the balck parts of the dash around the ashtray etc as barkdawg has some ppl cant be stuffed and just spray it all the same colour...it looks cheap that way especially in white!
