Thanks for the prep tips on the dash plastic.
It appears that I will also end up having to paint the kickpanels, seatbacks, console, pillar moldings, assist handle - are all these plastics prepped the same way ? Any chance I can get the dash pad back to gold (now black), rather than buy a gold repro ?

Also see in your pictures that the inner parts of the gauge carrier are black, did you paint these and if so, is it a flat black ?

Thanks for the help,
