Paint to use on interior trim

I want to paint the trim around the radio and the trim on the dashboard. I tried Plasti-Dip but it would not stick to the plastic trim. After about two weeks it fell of the plastic like paper. What paint do you use to paint the trim?

plasti dip works fine if you know how to use it and prep correctly. scuff up all the plastic and then clean it good but dont use something with soap in it to clean it either because it will leave a slight residue. do light coats of plasti dip and it will stick, im going on 2.5 years of plasti dipped trim pieces lol still no issues. but to be honest painting plastic sucks in general hahaha

Probably any paint just gotta sand the pieces and primer.

Someone ever armorall your dash? that'll ruin your day when painting

We painted my Gf's dash with autmotive paint out of a spray gun, High gloss white, I used rubbing alcohol fist then just a scuff with 900G paper.

It turned out wicked, looks like real white car paint on her trim pieces, pretty durable to, its taken a few hits and still looks good.
