Painting dash

Just came across this picture, made me realize I want to paint mine black.



What kind of paint should I use?

Also, If anyone has pictures, please post them.

if it was me i would just mix up the matching interior color from our paint line but not everyone has access to something like that. i think a lot of people use duplicolors interior trim paint. scuff up the plastic, apply an adhesion promotor and spray away. sand out any dirt between coats(after it flashes) and apply another coat.

what piece the trim?
the one on the right has 4 clips spaced out you will need to take a flat head scrw driver and put it behind the top and pry it out
then you need to do the one on the right of the steering wheel and under that is the piece where the steering wheel is undo that clip and then put the screw sriver behind that peice and pry it off it has 2 clips
then the radio is next that has 4 or 6 i dont remember but sart at the top where there is space behind and pry each side of the top off and then move the screw driver and pry out the clips at the bottom
they will make loud popping noises but theyre not breaking they are just popping out so dont be worried

oh and open the glove box before taking the piece on the right out

there is a spot called english color, they will mix up a color matched rattle can for 40 bucks. I have a sunburst orange ss and brought then the gm color code and they matched it perfect. I painted my trim with it and it looks really nice.
