I did mine came out perfect

First scrub with a brill pad green side
thinners

Then clean everything

Then silicon remover can get from a proper paint shop again Brillo green side

Scrub and scrub again

Then I paint with standard 2k body paint

2k primmer

Standard 2k black paint.

It's surprising good with the flex of the dash pad

If you skip the silicon remover if will fish eye the paint.

Lots of little layers very slowly allowing good drying time

if you go down my car block you will see all

ive used halfords gloss smooth hamerite copy on arm rests and door cards

works fine if applied in warm weather very thin

doesn't crack is suproisingly flexible

just don't clod it on

but vinylcote is also an option

it works well

did a seat in it years ago and was surprised at how hard wearing it turned out to be

although i wouldn't try to paint something black, white with it....i think extreme changes would involve a lot more work

I used Halfords black vinyl spray paint in the end. rubbed down the pads with scotch pads, de greased, washed then dried for a few days. came out a treat. :thumbright:
