Put a pic of yours up Ady and we will be able to tell you which you have The metal ones are painted in a textured black paint
Yours is padded Ady If you want a painted dash you need to source a metal one What colour would you like one painted? Im thinking if your padded dash is in good condition then ill buy a metal one and paint it for you in exchange for your padded one
It's all about the prep as with anything. I spend a long time prepping and making sure the surface is in a decent condition before top coating
