Very easy. I removed the trim around together with the screen, masked the area real nice and put multiple thin layers. You can accelerate drying with hair drier.
I also painted the lower plastic that has many scratches.
Here you can see some of them:
Upper plastic looked similar to this one:
While doing it:
The result (2 years later):
I clean the dash after every single trip and I cannot see any scratches, it is very durable, no way to scratch it.
Wow that looks nice!
Job well done.
Is that a spray can for the leather?
Or did you use the brush?
Looking at your before photo, i think I can I live with mine. It has a very tiny mark in the middle..
If I do damage it in the future, I will give this a go.
It looks quite nice but I would miss the stitching. I know it’s just decorative and doesn’t hold anything together, but once painted it looks molded on like in a cheaper car. Just a personal thing, but I like the appearance of the actual threading better,

I agree with you that the unpainted stitching would look better but it is not that easy to mask it and to not see the paint cut-off.
You could run a thicker electrical wire on the stitching from one side to another and secure it somewhere to cover it.
Paint may still transfer though as you are spray painting it.
Can you touch up paint the stitches afterwards with a brush?

Is this dashboard soft trim replaceable?
