But a bit concerned about the long-term "worthiness" of the paint for such applications. Anyone else have dash color conversions let me know.
Cheerios,

Back in high school I had a Fiero GT with a two-tone tan interior. The dash surround was an ugly dark brown that I wanted black so my father used some sort of black vinyl dye that he sprayed on with an airgun. From what I recall it held up really well and looked factory. You might look into something like that if you don't want to mess around with leather. I wouldn't use paint though, I would think with the crazy temp extremes a dash gets exposed to daily it would make short work of the finish.
