I used Krylon Fusion in Satin Black to paint the dash on my '84. The stuff works great, as long as you're not spraying it on vinyl or rubber or any other soft plastic stuffs - it never seems to dry at all on that stuff, but on hard plastics it dries almost immediately and sticks really well without bubbling up or flaking off.

I used the paint from 50resto along with their prep spray as well. Works great and looks like a new car on the inside. The outside, well thats a different story

duplicolor and sem both make quality and durable interior paints. The duplicolor can be used on vinyl and hard plastic. Don't forget that when you use any of these products to use the adhesion promoter. SEM and duplicolor makes this product.

Here is my car with duplicolor. BTW I have done other cars with duplicolor and the paint has not faded or chipped off after years of use. Another note, don't try to reassemble the parts until a couple of days after painting or the paint will chip because it hasn't cured yet.

Before:

As long as it's not that soft, flexible kind of plastic, it'll work just fine. Again, for some reason the stuff just never really seems to fully cure when it's applied to stuff like vinyl or plastic rubber or whatever, but on hard plastic it works great. And as mentioned above (I forgot to mention it, too), it's a good idea to use that Bulldog Adhesion Promoter on whatever you're painting - that stuff works GREAT at making the paint stick and STAY stuck.
