what kind of paint for dash trim?
I was gonna use the krylon plastic paint but is it the best? I wanted to try to do a custom color but who could make that? What is the paint that is usually used?

Yes, very light with 2000 grit or above wet sand, the paint will have orange peel in it but you have to let it dry 1st like over night!

It should be for better results, it will gum up on the sandpaper if it isn't! Depending on how cold it is & what humidity is like it 3 to 8 hours!

No problem .....1 thing I always go by is: if you take your time, the quailty & life of what you are painting will be much better! Oh & That paint takes 7 days to fully cure!
