I got a explorer console for my truck recently and the gray color between it and my dash are a drastic difference, whats a good paint to use to either try to match it up or just paint it black? Also if you done it and have pics I would appreciate it.

Krylon Fusion works pretty good but starts to chip after a while... There is this stuff called: "BullDog Adhesion Promotor" which works real well to get paint to stick to anything.

honestly man, if you putting all the work into your truck and want painted stuff, don't use the dye stuff, it will never work properly. It may be alot more work but i would recommend just tearing it all out, fibreglassin it all and painting it with automotive paint, or doing some sort of fabric. The vynal dye never holds up, i've seen it time and time again just cracking or fading or just not holding up.

If you aren't really donig anything spectacular to your dash, why not just find a center console that actually matches? You just have to wait to find the right one. It's very hard to match it exactly to the paint code (from my experience, but I'm not great with paint).

That's what I did for my truck and my g/f's truck and both match exactly.
