Interior paint

hey,I'm re-painting my dash...i have started on the center console....i know its plastic, would a plastic paint work well do you think? i.e. that new tremclad which is susposed to chemically bond to plastics...???

I'm not putting a stereo in this one...ala porsche Club Sport...so i have cut out a piece of aluminium to put there...how would be the best way to attach it to the plastic???? epoxy?? i this it should still have a bit of flex (the glue) or one bump and it will be gone...

I'm also thinking...since i dont have anything to put there...wjat about putting one of those "mazda RX-7" badges from the fenders there???? this is would look kinda Aston Martin like!

ok well...and suguesstions would be great!

I say buy vinyl paint, ive used it before and it worked quite well, but im interested in this dye that carl is talking about now...is it pricey? Because vinyl paint isnt much more than a rattlecan.
