yes it is called vinyl paint :)

all autozone sell it :) clean with degreaser, brush with degreaser, rinse
off, and use prep-all on the surface before you start any primer paintintg
and let the primer dry properly (20-30min) before doing it..

I change a brown dash to a blue dash with great result, unfortunatly the
silver project was abandonned so the dash is gonna get repainted once it
gets warmer (burrr 50' eh!) and get a nice black job done.
