Dashboard Panels

Ok, I will fess up....I did something childish...I noticed my dashboard panels, the 3 on the driver side...the 3 you unscrew off...well, over the past 13 years, they had become scratched up, not terribly but scratched....

Now for what I did...I bought acetone, sandpaper, plastic primer and plastic paint...

Long story short...dont EVER paint any interior plastics..its looks fake, actually looks pretty bad...plastic paint either sucks or requires like a year to cure...and the smell is making me high......

Now I need to buy new dashboard panels....WHERE CAN I BUY SOME REASONABLY???
1998
F-250
XL LD

Please dont ever paint with plastics paint for the interior the smell is sickening and the paint is way too thick to look good...My wife is told me it was a crazy idea...I should have listened....

you can order a free catalog from LMC truck and they sell anything factory for any truck. if it came from the factory they make replacement new parts.
