I painted mine and it came out great.

Dont go to autozone or Walmart and but the fabric and vinyl paint by duplicor. Yes it works but unless your doing some crazy color i wouldnt do it. This is the stuff I used

Cost me about 18 dollars a can, use laquer thinner to wipe your dash down, this softens the vinyl for better penatration.

Here is the color chart where you can get the spray can in Ford OE colors.

Now I wont be responsible if you mess up your dash, but this is the way I did it and it came out looking like a stock dash. If you dont wanna use thinner on your dash, use some sort of paint prep. Sem makes the as well.

hope this helps
