Paul,
I used Plastic bumper paint in an aerosol can(fender paint for those on
the other side of the pond). Bought from a car accessory shop. Quite
tough, doesn't chip off easily, is easy to apply and gives a matt
finish. Not as pretty as Nextel though.

Hi Guys,
I did something a little different with my panel, so I thought I'd chime in here. Although my cockpit is painted with silver/gray Zolatone, my instrument panel top and tray are covered in black felt. We started doing this on sailplane panels some years ago and found that it works great for glare reduction and seems to keep the cockpit cooler. There is just enough stretch in the felt to make covering compound curves easy.
The felt is attached with 3M Spray 77. I made a crude pattern set using thin plastic sheet draped over the module to get the basic shape, marking the plastic with a Sharpie pen. Make your pieces a little bigger than necessary. Once glued in place the felt easy to trim to fit with a sharp razor blade. It is done in 5 pieces, the top over the instrument area, the back of the sandwich tray, the front of the sandwich tray, the right side of the sandwich tray and the bottom of the sandwich tray. The felt wraps over and around the front of the top and under by about 1". It wraps over the front of the tray by about 3". The rest of the panel is painted with either Zolatone, under the sandwich tray, or flat black, around the instruments. Use a plastic bondo spatula to smooth out any wrinkes that might occur in the felt. The result looks really nice and items placed in the tray don't slide around as much as they would if the felt weren't there. It's easy to peel off if you ever want to redo it. Xylol cuts the 3M adhesive. You can also stick a small piece of hook side velcro onto a pen and it'll stay put when placed on the felt.
Contact me off list for pictures.
Regards,

Graham,
It's just a two stage base/clear with a little flattening agent added.
Any auto painter can fix you up. I used a light grey on mine. Looks
very nice...
