Not sure if many of you have painted plastic before but it is hard to stick to. Sand every panel down good. If you are using spray paint, get Krylon Fusion. It is meant for plastics. Doesn't always work though if you do not sand it enough though. You also may want to use a primer depending on how good you sand it.

BTW, the blue behind the gauges is a bezel you would most likely have to buy.
