Default How to make dash black?

I have an 03 and i love the truck but hate the color of the dash/door panels. The previous owner before me redid the seats with black/yellow and the carpet black...but i think when you have a black dash and door panels it looks 100x better. What is the best way to do a color change?

I cant seem to find oem parts to do a dash swap?

You can repaint them.......BUT BEWARE ALL PARTS MUST BE 100% FREE OF ANY CHEMICALS........for example Armor All or the paint won't stick. It is very hard to do but it can be done. I painted cars for years and always hated doing interior stuff. Paint just doesn't want to stick to plastic and vinyl very well. You can never get the parts clean enough. You need to use a real good paint like SEM. SEM makes interior paint so that it's not real shiny. I use regular exterior paint with a gloss reducer and catalyst. It's a little cheaper and does a good job. But if you don't have access to everything that you need to use regular exterior paint then I suggest to go the SEM route.

BUT WHICH EVER WAY YOU GO THE PARTS MUST BE 100% CLEAN!!!!
