I think I had green handy when I did mine.
I also did mine "wet" like wet sanding, water with a little dish soap and went to town.





For the dash use only SEM paint. Clean with soap & water, use their prep spray and then their paint.


I will do the same on the rest of the plastic parts for the inside.

Thank you


Just take your time as with any paint work it is all in the prep work.
Do crappie prep work get a crappie paint job.


Before I paint the outside I have a LOT more prep work to do.
