if you're going to paint the dash then you'll need some fine sand paper to sand it down with cos the paint probably won't stick that well, with it being sprayed with dash shine over the years it will be quite shiny and slippery. And you'll need some plastic primer too before you put the paint on. I don't know about chrome paint , i canlt imagine it looks too much like chrome though, you won't get a mirror finish from a of spray paint.

The glare off the chrome inside the car in sunlight may also be hazardous bud - I think that is a bad idea!

Even if it looked 100% like chrome I think a chrome centre console would look gash
