Slicking up a dash

Ok guys I seem to have a dilema.....I am about to embark on the right hand drive conversion and am getting prepaired. The only snag I see so far is the dash. My car has black interior and the damn right hand drive dash is grey. Since I have smoothed and molded in the door panels and will paint them the same color as the car I figured I would do the same to the dash. I need to do this right the first time as another rhd dash prob wont come along for a while. How do I get the finish of the dash smooth. Its not a hard plastic. It is a vinyl over some foam.

you could try extremely light sanding with like 1500 grit sandpaper.......2000 might work but that also might be too fine of a grit to even blemish it.....

You could strip off the vinyl and foam and fiberglass that bitch. Like here: http://repo.jackmoves.com/album196

Re: Slicking up a dash

both will work, but i think the fiberglass will come out better and last longer, plus you could add a few custom touches to make it really stand out.
