Need help! Dying Dash in my GP

[mofoyaknow]

I'm doing a color change from the gray blue to black on my 85 grand Prix...everything's gone great so far and I'm almost done I'm working on the dash now but for the life of me can't get into the nooks and crannies up where the windshield meets dash...I've tried the little sponges, paint brush and just spraying...thinking I'd just take a razor blade to the window after...anyway I got a mess now and am thinking I should of just pulled the dash enough to get to the tight area to begin with, but the ol man told me not to, well since I don't listen that good I'm thinking I need a co -signer... Is this my best option? Please let me know what I can do, thank you!

Removing the dash would be a more effective way to paint it, and get into all the nooks and crannies. It's a bit time consuming removing the dash, but the final results speak for itself.
In other words, it's difficult painting a dash in the car and expecting to cover it entirely.

yes pulling it out would make it much easier went from dark blue to black

I you didn't want to pull the dash you could remove the windshield and put it back in when you were finished with the dash

I always pull the dash with a color change.

Steve,
I think it would open up a can of worms pulling the windshield. Besides, there's the always the chance that you can break it. However, with the windshield out, it would give you more access to areas that would not be accessible otherwise.

Jack, you are right but I don't know how well the dye works and would be concerned with chipping the dye when getting the dash back in.

Thank you! That's what I thought I should do, now how hard is the dash to pull? I see the bolts is the middle then 4 on the vents than the 2 on the inner each side is that it? Trial and error I guess right...Thank you again

Works great so far SEM brand and VHT dye are the best to use for interior panels and vinyl. Adhesion promoter is a must, there's some great forums I followed in my process on here that were easy to follow.
