Question
Just painted mine, but before I take pics, I wanted to do the lid on the top of the center dash. I noticed someone asked this about a year ago...

Anyone do it? Are there any potential dangers with it being a more bendable material instead of the solid plastic?

It's not working out very well for me. Even with primer, a basecoat, and a clearcoat, the paint is flaking off.

Be sure you are using Vinyl Paint... Regular paint does not work as well. DupliColor has the Vinyl color. Mine has worked very well.
