I have done it several times.  I remove the steering wheel and use a small spray gun.

I am quite sure Interiors were factory finished in lacquer.  Susposedly to reduce glare.  Tom.

I used a flattening agent mixed into the enamel on the last one. Will probably do the same on the next. However, I normally have the dash out of the car on a stand. Easier.
