    Funny, I was reading threads (thanks for help on removal) about painting dash and other components, which I have in my 911, Console and Dash (Aluminum Look) and wanted to do to my Taco once I got it home from dealer.

    Stopped by local paint store I use for Autopaint supplies and had the guys mix me up some BBP BC/CC and a can of Plastic adhesion promoter (>$70.00). Wiped down to remove any grease finger prints, , etc. Primed with Plastic adhesion promoter, After dried, scuffed up with 400 paper (dry). Sprayed Blue basecoat, wait 10 minutes to flash, 2nd coat, wait 30 minutes to flash dry, sprayed 2 coats of clear, 10 minutes between coats, dry to dust 7-10 minutes, hard dry 24 hours.

    Simple removal by just pulling on dash firmly, seprate from vent by removing screws on back side. (Lots)

    Started with A/C surrounds, I'll do some additional parts once I get a chance.

    I'll put them in tomorrow after they have dried 24 hrs.
