My daughters jeep is ocean blue. Painted the dash in Mojito.

How hard was it to do the speaker bezels? Anything I should know, getting ready to do the dash and I’d like to do them too. Thanks!
I did the speaker bezels too a few weeks ago
Funny you asked that --as originally I told my daughter no way in heck can it be done easily.How hard was it to do the speaker bezels? Anything I should know, getting ready to do the dash and I’d like to do them too. Thanks!
Why the adhesion promoter for scuffed up plastic? (I’m hoping to paint my dash panels this weekend with Spray Max 1K and 2 K this weekend.)I did 3 steps for all my plastic painting.
1 - Clean using a good cleaner
2 - scotchbright to rough up paintable surface
3 - precoated with a paint adhesion promoter.
It is the only way to guarantee the paint will stick and not have a flaking problem down the road.Why the adhesion promoter for scuffed up plastic? (I’m hoping to paint my dash panels this weekend with Spray Max 1K and 2 K this weekend.)
Thanks. I see SprayMax has plastic adhesion promoter, so will apply that prior to base coat.It is the only way to guarantee the paint will stick and not have a flaking problem down the road.
Here is a demonstration:

Turns out - 4 screws and the covers pop right off. I took my time to tape off the lines, and covered the back side due to overspray potential.

I then used 3 coats of paint and put it back up. It was so simple to do all the dash trim, I will be doing it on my Rubicon soon. Right now I have those cheap stick-on plastic red accents. I liked them until I painted my daughters jeep. Now they look cheap to me.
Looks great! Where did you end up getting your paint?Whoo just finished painting my dash and few other pieces Hot Pink. Super easy thanks you everyone’s help here and Huge thanks to @Redbaron73
DO NOT PUT A WRAP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANELS-PAINT ONLY. The passenger side contains the airbag, and a wrap would seriously affect how it breaks open at deployment....like maybe not at all.Anybody done their panels in a wrap? At least the passenger side. Not much of an airbrush artist like urr2slo but I was thinking of designing something. Blank canvas indeed.
