Hey gang..
Comtemplating two possibilities, painting my dash frame or having it powder coated.. Anyone have experience with outcome and price between the two?

I'm also thinking about the grille header on my '68 Charger R/T.

Troy I would paint it the original suede black or whatever color you dash was.  It is a little pricey, but it looks great when finished.  The headliner trim piece up front is painted the same color.

Yeap.. I've been quoted a price of about $200 just for the dash frame......

I powder coated my dash frame...    semi-gloss...       nice even sheen - not sure if it looks correct compared to stock - but works for me.

I bought enough to do the dash frame, steering column, headliner panel, a/c vents and rear defrost for $150.
