    That make some really good paints specifically for interior plastics. Prep properly, find one that’s close in color and paint it.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    Perhaps some new stickers. Look at getting some interior dye. Works much better than paint, everything from the 80s was dyed right from the factory.

    An good upholstery shop should be able to point you in the right direction. YouTube is always a good place to start also, plenty of instructional video on this subject.

    Why not try doing a wrap, you can always remove it if you don’t like it.

    SEM brand vinyl paint.

    Get the prep paint too. Follow the directions to a "T". It will out last your truck. Almost fool proof........I say almost......

    You don’t have to remove it, you can get wraps on Amazon

    When applying, you can use a heat gun so as to get the dimples that’s on the panel

    100% Agree. This is the only "not ghetto" suggestion so far. Stickers? Vinyl wrap? Plasti-dip? Come on, guys, those are bandaids that are gonna look just as bad but in different way.

    You may also try Duplicolor fabric and vinyl paint - it works surprisingly well. But the SEM stuff will be the best.

    Duplicolor makes some pretty good interior paint. Buts its all about the prep. Must clean really thoroughly and then use a adhesion promoter and the paint. To make things look even you might have to do the lower part of the dash on both sides. The instrument area comes out fairly easy (I changed my gauge plastic it was so scratched)Use the leading profile as a divider and it should look pretty good

    I’d be careful with any type of thick application. The air bag is right there.
