Making some progress in the evenings after kids go to bed. The back of the dash was covered in surface rust, which I think is pretty standard.
I wire brushed all the loose stuff off, cleaned it up, then coated the whole interior with Ospho. I left it for 24 hours and all the rust had been successfully converted.
Then I sprayed a coat of rattle can primer
Lastly I hit it with a coat of rattle can white. I'll probably do one more for good measure. If I ever find myself in the unfortunate situation of digging around behind the dash, the white paint should make it much easier to see. I'm pretty sure I saw someone do the same on these forums before. I will need to clean off the metal where things need to be grounded.
Also cleaned up and painted the steering column. Looks much better now
