I did do the dash. In fact I pulled the old cracked red dash out, painted the uncracked blue dash that was in the back seat of the parts TC when I bought it black (using the same Duplicolor stuff you used), and installed it long ago. I did the console too. Pics:

1) Before
2) During (I also rewired the ignition switch to use relays so the current for the accessories isn't carried by the switch anymore)
3) After

Yeah, I like it. Once you go black you never go back, you know

You'll have to forgive the dust covering everything. The car was in the middle of a bunch of bodywork at the time. As for all the on the floor - it was from where a squirrel had built a nest in my blower fan. I'm ashamed to admit that the pile of yellow insulation is still there :(
