What do you mean blisters? I've never heard of this one before.

i'm not completely sure what it is but blisters is the best way to describe it. I have some pictures of it if you want to see it? What is an e-mail i can send them to?

Looks to me like someone was putting out their cigs on it. Thats a hard plastic and shouldn't ever do something like that. You can remove it, sand it down, primer and then repaint it to hind those. Thats the best your going to get bro.

Thanks for the help. I have no experience with painting car parts really at all, is it a diffecult job? probably to much work to be worth it.

Get an electric orbital sander or a palm sander and go at it with 220 grit sand paper to ruff up the surface. Place is on some news paper face up and spray primer till it coats but doesn't isn't running. Just do light coats if your nervous. You'll eventually figure out how much you can lay at once. Then paint it w/e color you want. Home depot sells textures black paint for plastic which is very close to the stock texture when it drys. I used this for my interior pieces so they look close to stock as possible.

Nice pics your dash turned out real nice. I'll give it a try i guess I just didn't want that smooth look to it since I can keep it looking stick then that would be nice. Thanks

yeah that's what i mean I thought it would have to be sanded smooth to get the paint to adhere right but i mean I like yours it's not smooth and it looks like new.
