Finally got the dash painted!
Today after a whole lot of planning and arranging, I got the dash and the dash pad painted! I did what this board said to prep the repop dash pad. I did not like the dash pads that are being repopped now, they have that huge seam mold mark on the front edge, so I took some sand paper, coarse, and sanded it out. I was surprised that it did go away and looked fairly OK. The fron edge of the dash pad is now smooth and looks way better that the way it was. Prepped dash pad by washing with soap and water X5 the prep sol then adhesion promoter...Bull dog. Paint color matched pretty well with the steering colomn. Will try and install the pad and get pics up of that! Now I can finish the dash! New life!

Re: Finally got the dash painted!
Looks great. What color is that?
How did it fit? I bought a sandalwood repop and the fit is less than stellar. The factory had metal reinforcement and the repop was fiberglass. The screws in the front just pushed through the fiberglass.

Re: Finally got the dash painted!
I guess I now know why they make a dash "cover" that can go over the original dash...since the repops are fiberglass junk.
