decided ill probably paint most of it black as it goes back together so what all do i need to do this the right way....ie. what paint to use and how to scuff it or watever i need to do.

clean the living hell out of it with dawn dish soap after that go over it with some glass cleaner that has amonio in it (household glass cleaner usually does) it will remove any armorall type stuff that is in it. This is the most important step, if there is any protectant on the dash you will have to respray it. They make a vinyl dye prep spray but the glass cleaner will do about the same thing.
It would be wise to also pick up an adhesion promoter.
VHT dye and Eastwood are both decent and your best bet if you dont have access to a spray gun and compressor. If you have access to those there are better choices out there.

get the VHT dye it is a rattle can. If you krylon it you will be redoing it again in no time.
