The key to using texture paint is keep it consistently about 15 inches away from the dash or steering column...but you first need to have a black base coat that will cover the primed piece so you are not trying to use the texture paint to give complete coverage

The column, ash tray and everywhere else turned out great - just the large flat top surface came out like crap.
