I think you did an excellent paint job! I personally do not like my air vent colors painted; however, to each their own. About your problem, did you sand all the pieces down? Not all paint can be used on plastics due to coating.

I didnt sand all the pieces, my dash have a texture that I like I was afraid that if I sand it, i'd loose it. I'll post some pictures of the problem later today.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if you use fine coarse grit sand paper (1500, 1700, or 2000), you can keep the texture as long as you do not rub the same area with all your might. If you're using paint that does not specifically say that it'll bond to plastic, you have to prep it beforehand by sanding - it allows adhesion. After sanding it down, prime it and then use your selected paint.
