    Is it possible to paint the dashboard of the Maverick? Or do you have to buy a new dash with the color you want?

    I did mine. Had a paint store in Durham, NC mix some vinyl paint which I used on both the pad and steel. If you're looking for blue and you're close to Durham, I can give the code for the paint he mixed.

    yeah there is no reason why you can't as long as you don't scrape it alot the paint will stay on just fine without taking the old paint off. i did that when my car was painted
