I then sanded it all down flat
I sprayed the entire bezel with a grey textured paint and then clear coated it.
The next step was to do something about the metal dash in the car so I sanded it all down, filled in any holes that were drilled into it and started spraying it with Dupli-Color's Fast drying spray Lacquer.
After about 4 coats of color I wetsanded the paint down and applied another color coat and a few coats of clear.
I then used 3M's rubbing compound and polished the dash off to a fine luster. Here's how it all turned out.
I still need to finish the glove box door. I've got it painted, but not clear coated and polished as of yet.
