About 10 years ago I had a Giulia 1300 Ti (sold). The dash was lined with plastic similar to wood, I didn't like it and replaced it with a real wood lining I made.
I bought a thin mahogany lining (normally used for model boats), after shaping (little care required) it was painted with transparent spray paint (before use thin sandpaper). I remember it was quite easy and cheap (you can also experiment before).

About the paint: these days I 'm going to finish the restoration of 4 wooden steering wheels (Hellebore and Nardi, will post about it). For these I found that the best results can be obtained using acrylic paint for the first 3 - 4 layers and after 2 layers of synthetic paint. I used normal spray bottles (both gloss). I'm shure it will work fine also for the dash lining.
