Hey guys, need a little advise, what colour would be really nice to spray my dash? I mean the silver parts in my 306 (check image) to match my China blue car?
Whats unique and really looks nice and eye catching?
Thanks guys

You're limited for options to me as, IMO, anything bold/body colour tends to look tacky. Either the standard gunmetal, or maybe get it flocked if you want something different. You could do it China, if you like that...

Matching the colour of your car is a nice touch, really stood out when I did mine moonstone.
But I fancied something different.
Jj that is bright

Normal paint and lacquer, But make sure you use plastic primer. Give it a good rub down with and paper but not too rough.

Mine is moonstone blue wherever it was silver as standard, looks good but it's mainly because silver and moonstone aren't all that different!
Glossy colours are hard to get looking right too, you need a pretty flawless finish IMO. Niall's looks pretty smart. He needs to put that MPG computer in my car instead though, would look better there!
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

Go scrap yard before hand and buy a old center console. or buy one cheap from here, I'm sure I have a old one lying around you can have cheap.

Sand the plastic with a 800grit and paper and primer it using plastic primer.
Always remember lots of thin coats instead of few thick coats.

Make sure after you sanded it you clean them well with white spirits and let them dry.
