Had to sort of slide the bottom in to where it snapped in place. Thats where the bottom gets scratched. Judging from your pics yours scratched up pretty good on the bottoms. Mine only got scratched right above the dash. I spray painted mine with Vinyl and Upholstery paint and I primed it first with Adhesion Promoter. That stuff is good for all kinds of surfaces but especially for vinyl and plastics.

I used the paint with the adhesion promoter. I know it works real well cuz I also did the dash in an old 84 Ramcharger that I have about 5 years ago and it still looks new. i can't speak on the dye cuz I ain't never used it.
