Also pulled the dash bezel out and hit it with some plastic, high bonding primer, and then some single stage matte black. It is still a little wet in the pic, but dried just as I wanted:
I did the same black treatment on the dash bezel on my 68 Barracuda.
I like it a lot. I have a post here on FABO on that car, titled Street Cruser.
I will check and see if I have a dash photo there.
No dash photo, post #37 has a video of an early engine start and shows the Rally dash in black.
