It would probably not stick. Vinyl releases fumes over many many years. Those fumes will make the paint bubble.
What you need is a vinyl dye. |

I bought some vinyl paint a few years ago (black) for my headliner. It worked great.

You can also get a vinyl prep for it. Wipe with the prep, then spray with the dye. The spray dye works great. If you have any other color than black, thats were you are going to run into problems trying to match a factory color.
There are vendors selling the factory color matched dash pads brand new... Rick H...

Thanks Guy's
I went to Sherwin Wiliams and had them mix up some paint and Dye. It turned out awesome.
