I used plastic dip paint but be warned it's not like a OEM hardened finish, a bit rubbery. Looks good though

i did the same. 4 years later and it still looking good

if you add a bit more distance as you spray you get a real nice texture

Tbf, I had a look at the links that were put up on the other post. Personally I would go with either the plasti dip or the bumper trim paint. Both look equally as good.
My question to the plasti dip.....does it fill in the nicks and scrapes on early plastics or does all that coating need removing first. Has anyone tried thinners on the coating to get it off? When i painted my dome I used primer direct to the panel and it reacted with the coating and the stuff just fell off! It is certainly something I'm gonna do in the future as I have 3d carbon wrap on my console atm

yeah you gotta get it off mate. Well at least the rubberised stuff on my 92. I used an aray of stuff. But, ultimately emery cloth, scotch pads & soapy water did it.

Fills imperfections but not as much as you might think. Retains all the detail of the original molding. Wouldn't fill cracks etc

I did all my early rubberised plastics but left them shiny, I didn't want a coating that might scratch like the original.
I went through my garage and tried everything I could, from silicone remover to white spirits and petrol.
The only stuff that was good to go is meths. I applied it liberally with a stiffish brush then used a non scratching kitchen sponge from the coop to gently remove any stubborn parts.
Once done I used a drill with the pad and plastic polish that's used for headlight restoration. It's cheap enough on ebay.

Is that just polished early plastics ^^^ If so looks very good compared to the rubber random coating

 

[rotors7]

Yes, just meths and polishing.
The more careful you are removing the rubber the less effort required to polish.
