What is on the dash is it plastic? Where can I get the color? I was thinking of just using the cans but I think it would be better to use the spray gun. What do you think is better? Sorry new to the EG game. Please give me websites, stores and many more. Thanks.

Just my opinion, but no way in hell I'd ever spray paint my dash. Spray paint chips over time and not worth it. There might be other paint that would be ok, but if your dash is in good condition, why mess with a good one? lol.
What is your reasoning in your decision?

I don't blame you for wanting them black. Black cars and black interior are my favorite on any kinda car. I still wouldn't spray paint them though. It might not be a cheap fix, but the best thing to do, I would think would be to just look around for a cheap black dash someone is selling or getting rid of.
