Dash Painting(not trim pieces)

I have a 03 blue civic with an ugly tan interior. I'm planning on shaving my door handles but in the interior i want to fill in the brown parts where the door handle and door locks are that way everything will look nice and flush but i also want to paint them a different color as well. and I figured i should just take out the actual dash too while i'm at it and I'm not talking about the trim pieces either i mean like where the pass. air bag is and so forth. But i'm wondering what is the best way to do it? can i just sand and paint it or do i just need to make new pieces out of fiberglass?

You are going to need some good vinyl paint. I did the entire dash, doors, console, and t-tops of a 77 Corvette. The guy was restoring the car and was buying interior panels as he found them so he had a bunch of mismatched panels. I painted them black for him about 5 years ago and they looked brand new and still look brand new. I got the paint from this place.
