As long as you scuff the surface of the panels, spray bombing should work fine with light even strokes. When you get it done, post some pics. I thought about it myself.

I am also looking to do mine this spring ... My current interior is tan ... (with the exception on driver a-pillar pod & passenger a-pillar) ...

I know I am going to get a black dash top from Geno's, Pull the tan carpet and replace with black, and do Katzkin custom leather seats & door panels ... I was also thinking of painting all of the remaining tan dash black ...

Look into SEM Color-Coat interior paint. I have heard good things about its durability.

I also am planning on redoing my interior black (my truck is blue and I have an ugly blue interior)

I do this at work all the time on dashes. Use SEMS. Great product. Clean it VERY VERY WELL before to start sanding and then clean again. Armor All if the worst thing ever for paint applying. Use a heat gun and warm up the can and dash first. I also spray and swipe the heat gun in the same pass. To reduce fish eyes.

sem makes an awesome product, ppg also makes an elastomeric interior paint that is available in a lot more colors, but you need a paint gun to apply it, it works as good as or better than the sem just not as user friendly.

i have done numerous dashes seems to me with the dodges is just to get the front window out. trust me it seems alot easier than takin the dash out. sand to how smooth you want it, spray a couple of coats of adhesion promotor sand lightly and then shoot the color that you want. lay a couple of coats and then a couple clear coats then cut and buff. depending on how much you sand it comes out like glass very nice.

Krylon make a new product called " Fusion For Plastic " although the colors are limited. Here's the link..........Krylon: Products: Fusion for Plastic®

I sprayed mine with krylon fusion and sem but they will still come off. Make sure you spray on a coat of ahesion promoter or acetone. Then clear coat it really good. Pastics are hard to stick to so i went with bedliner.
