To do it right you have to disassemble the dash. then becareful not to over tighten the screws when putting her back together. I used alldata for instructions on taking her apart. alcohol acts as solvent.
When you dyed it black, Was it close to the same color as the rest of the black plastics? I want to just make the dash black I dont care too much for the silver center console. I could always just paint it another color but if I could just strip it down and dye it to make it match I would prefer that.
