Repainting a 69 charger dash

[djblank]

I'm looking for advice on what paint to use for repainting the dash for my 69 charger. I already removed it from the car. The car isn't going to be judged in shows so I don't what it to be a huge project but I do want it to be durable and look correct. What did everyone use?

I've used SEM interior paints for doing interiors. Never had a problem.

The original paint is called suede finish, which means it has some texture to it. The SEM stuff is good and may be a close match to the 9347 black. Hmm, I'm thinking if I got that code correct.

The technique if you don't have the texture additive is to put the last coat on dry to simulate texture. This is what I did and it comes out very well.

unless you are trying for a concorse resto,why not just go with satin black.i just use a good quality paint and shoot several coats.

Another route, SEM also makes a spray texture you lay on before the paint, but as Meep pointed out, back the gun/can up a bit and dust it with a dry coat. If you use a gun, steping up to a 2.0 needle may also help the texturing along with the dry coat.

Good to know. Thanks!

My Scamps dash is green, but I just gave painters supply the paint code and it came back with the suede in it. You can also get the paint put into in a rattle can. I have never used the SEM stuff, but I hear it is good quality. Good luck.
