I painted the dash pad and interior parts to match the outside car color, HOK Cobalt Blue. The dash part around the instruments I kept black with the chrome trim. There are pictures of it back in the archives.

i had my 68's dash powder coated candy red. i may change the color though i decided to go with different colors then i originally intended to go with and am thinking the dash might not match the rest of the car now

Yep, I'd have to agree there.

And semi gloss, not gloss.

I think it's ok to paint the dash the same color as the body, as long as the body is black. :2thumbs:

Plan on painting the inside metal trim semi gloss black, its a brownish color now but the interior is going black. Is there anything I have to deal with, or use a special paint so it will be protected from scratches?
