Hey err'body

I recently put a pretty nice finish on my dashboard, after filling the cracks with bumper repair and sanding them down, it looks brand new, and the paint is satin black, and it looks fine, but it's ultra sensitive, if I run the back of my fingernail across it it leaves a streak that's hard to get rid of

What's some awesome paint, that will leave a glossy finish, and provide protection?

I'm going to be using a dash cap, as well as the dash cover, but it will not cover the entire dashboard, like where my knees will be and scuff up the lower dash, which is my concern

Thanks again guys!

Post some pics! Im wondering weather to do that or just get a dash cover

 

Ya pics.

 

Ugh. I got some of that prep/primer, and it started to completely eat up the original layer of paint I had applied, it looked like really dry soil, cracking, so I sprayed more to try to get it to eat up more of the paint to try to get the base layer off so I'm mostly back to the original dash

 

I'm sorry to hear that. The paint worked great for me

 

Well, what had happened, is that I had already laid down a very even and proper coat of paint, everything looked okay, I was just looking for a nice top coat.

What I should have done, was just spray down the vinyl paint, instead of the "Prepper" layer coat, that's what started eating up everything.

So what my plan is now, I'm going to go ahead and continue using the "Prep" spray, so that I get all of the paint off, so I can start out with where I was before I did anything.

It looks like the Oklahoma dirt right now, I'm pretty pissed off lol, this isn't doing much to my time to get the car up and running but I'm still peeved

 

try colorbond. google it. the stuff is fantastic.

 

Dupli color vinyl interior paint. Trust me, it is the best paint in the world for interiors. My '82 T-top is a good example of it. Unfortunately, the interior is all tore up in it. Because of taking it apart. But someday he will look better than factory.

 

I've used SEM for a LOOOONG time and it's very good. Just playing with the Krylor Fusion for plastics and it works well too. I did find that it doesn't like some vinyl - it seems to stay tacky forever but on the ABS it's just fine. I worked on all the body panels except the ones I recovered in vinyl myself.
