I did. Just take it off (2 bolts and a lot of pulling), lightly sand it, prime, paint, and clear

exacly what Ordonez said, alot of pulling lol, make sure you dont break any clips when pulling tho, like by your guage besel and air vents. painting is the easy part. puting it back in without scrating is the hard part lol.

Either use Krylon's fusion or a primer for painting on plastics.

thanks, guys! I think I meant gauge bezel, not dash, chose wrong words smile now I gotta find some neon(or bright green) paint to do the switch trims and what not, I am gonna do the guage bezel in black and do the other stuff in green...what do you think?

Ps,
how hard is it to run the switch for my autopia halo fog lights into the change holder behind the gear shift? I was thinking of doing this with my underbody neon kit also. thanks again! smile

Duplicolor makes a hi-temp paint that you might like, it's a really bright green.

As for the change holder: it's a straight shoot from there to under the dash and you can route it wherever you want. The center console comes out really easy as well when you have the dash bezel removed.
