I went to my local body shop supply place (cleverly named Body Shop Supply) and had them mix up some Grabber Orange enamel and put it in spray cans. They tool the paint code off the door to make sure they mixed the correct color. It suprisingly only cost about $14 a can. It's a one-shot mix so there's no need to clear coat. I also picked up some spray cleaning prep, 400 grit sandpaper, and plastic adhesion promoter.
The part I was most worried about was taking the dash apart but that was super easy. Most of the pieces just pull off after a couple screws. Once I got it all apart I lightly sanded everything and cleaned it with the paint prep. Then I masked the areas off I didn't want painted and sprayed on the adhesion promoter. After about 20 minutes I shot the paint.
Like I said it's not flawless. I don't have a spray area and I didn't want to do it in the house so I did it in my garage. I vaccumed up as much dust as I could before I started but I still got some dust specks under the paint in some places. Also after the fist dusting I realized I needed to open the garage up or I was gonna gas myself, so it wasn't the most perfect area to shoot paint.
I feel that amount of color is just about enough. Some guys said I should do the dash areas but I think that would be too much. It's a pretty safe project because I figure worst case scenerio it gets scratched up over time and I go to a scap yard and pick up new ones.
