Would you paint they main part of the dash gloss black,semi-flat or flat black?? With a black dash pad and black or silver lower dash
Hmmm.... Are you looking for the original look? They came in a semi-flat or satin with light metalflake in black. My bodyshop guy painted mine back that color with a aerosol can of lacquer that was a little more glossy than original. I think the light metal flake looks more original. I would use semi gloss or satin. Seth
definetly semi gloss or flat. I tried the gloss thing on an interior component in my stang, Came out shiny as hell, kinda like I dumped an entire bottle of armor all on it, the sun hits it, and it is like getting a million candle power spotlight in your face, as the reflection goes everywhere. The flat/semi is closest to the stock look. Paint a descrete part first, and put it in the car to see how it looks before taking a can to everything.
I have my dash gloss black with a coat of clear and it is so crappy to keep clean, looks good though.
I just repainted my dash last week and went with the semi-flat black and it looks great. It was gloss black but that wasn't working out to well. I definitely wouldn't do that again.
i did mine in gloss black last week. a big no!! no!! you get a reflection of everything you pass on the rode on the inside of the windshield. i thought i was driving (buzzing)back in the 70's. it took me a couple of days to realize what it was. i am going to do it in satin later...frank..jmo:
