1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
Wanted to just shoot the back of the dash grey (so it will reflect light in the future when working under the dash vs black hole)... well I miss calculated and ended up with enough to paint a few more parts.... Then I got brave and shot the Automotive Arts Motocryl matte black.... Jimmy like Motocryl! This stuff lays out nice and looks very much like the original finish! In the photo below it had not finished flashing.. it is a nice consistent matte black now. I have some gloss too that I will shoot the door and quarter interior with as well.. Earlier in the day I worked on restoring the AC head and dash plate. This is a newer B-Body style switch but it will work with one jumper and a swap of 2 of the vacuum hoses... either that and $90 NOS or buy the correct AC switch NOS at $400+, easy choice. Of course one has to mock this up when they are playing shooting the final coat!
