there are a number of interior paints available from places like autosource....however if you aren't trying to match a particular colour, just freshening up a black, or a red....I would recommend kyrlon platsic paint, it has excellent adhesion as well as flexes with the dash pad material afterwards, in some of the replacements Ive done at the shop and used kyrlon for the dash, or other semi ridgid plastics Ive had good luck

keep in mind that the dash in not plastic, it a rubbery/foam material, so make sure the paint will adhere to it...you dont want to mess up your dash more than it already is! and make sure you use a good cleaning sloution before spraying the dash.... im not sure what acetone would do to that material, but that will clean just about anything.......

if i were you, id do a little section that isnt really noticalble ..and see what the cleaner and paint do! better safe than sorry!
