67.5 dash touch up paint

Post by bikermike »

Hi all,

I am seeking suggestions for black touch up paint for a '67.5 dash. I have a couple of little nicks near the glove box and some spots below the radio where the PO did some mods to install a cassette deck.

I don't intend to respray the dash anytime soon. I just want to cover the silver that is showing through with something that will look close to the surrounding black paint and not be too shiny.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Satin black with a fine tip brush should do the trick.

Is it a "wrinkle" finish? And is the wrinkle finish a concern?

I'm not too concerned with the wrinkle finish since the visible bare spots are small. (Should I be?) There is a larger one below the radio that is fairly hidden. I don't know for sure if it is the original dash paint, but I think so. I do have some rust showing above the toggle switches, but am afraid it would look worse if I touched it. Pics below.

Matching the color will be a challenge. Try a hobby store, grab a couple "testors" in a few shades and mix and match small amounts, till its close, and try an inconspicuous place first.
