Cool

Is there any part such as may be a sun visor or door panel in your interior now that is the color you want to paint your dash cap? If so an auto paint store can match that in a spray dye that will work well on your dash cap, or even a new padded dash itself.

The only problem with that is everything is so faded.

Do you have any build sheets or other documentation to trace an interior paint or upholstery code? If you want to search the forums for the documents Ford can send you upon request, that might help you as well.

Go to a NAPA paint & bodyshop supply shop.

They have ALL the Interior /Exterior paint codes and can even mix you up some vinyl dye or lacquer for your doors & Dashboard.

Maybe have a look here as well.

You could also just paint the whole dang dash black. Then it will go with any interior/exterior color you want. Also replacement dash pads come in black but don't hold paint or dye well.
