LS6TT:
I suggested automotive paint because that is normally what people are wanting. The shiny clear coated type dash that matches the exterior. Thats what all the show cars do. Now if your are just wanting to do a color change to the dash then you can definitely do what you are talking about. What you will end up with is a flat color with the existing texture that will chip off and you will have to respray occasionally.

I can feel you on the texture thing. It makes it look more factory, but basically what I mentioned in response to LS6TT is the same for what you speak of. With the texture left on it the paint does not bond as well and tiny air bubbles are left under the paint and chipping will occur. Which can be remedied with another coat of paint, but the method I described original would be the best for keeping the paint bonded and for 0 chipping if prepped correctly. Without a clear coat you will always end up with a flat looking color pretty much. There are a few paints out there though that have the paint and clear mixed together and that might work too if you dont mind poor quality paint.
