Yet another dash question.
My 85 f150 has grey interior. Ive ran into a deadend trying to find a dash pad. Dont want to just cover it. I want to replace and all my searches on this site and others bring me to blue, red, saddle, and black. No grey

Not really. I think gray was only offered in 85/86. Just makes it harder to find pieces in the right color, since there's a much narrower window of time to dig thru.

SEM ColorCoat is *marvelous* stuff for this kind o f job.... but prep is key here, as is a good adhesion promoter.

Cool deal. Im just worried about the painted look. But this could also solve my flaky faded door panel problem. Trying to keep this truck as close to original looking as possible with a few hidden mods.

Good thing to worry about! This is why I strongly emphasize that preparation is key here.
I repainted just about all of my brother's Taurus interior using that stuff, read about it/look at pictures here:
I agree with the book, this is best done with two people - Taurus Car Club of America : Ford Taurus Forum
We used to have a member here, um, Girl With A Truck (I think), she repainted her truck interior with this stuff, one of her threads is in the Sticky/subforums (I think it began with filling in speaker holes using Bondo® or foam or some such but can't remember for certain, go nose through that stuff and do some homework on that).
EDIT: Found it, saved ya some work; go read these, too:

People sometimes delete their pictures after a while, that makes the things they write up and illustrate here FAR less helpful...

. Host your pics on FTE and don't delete them.
