New Cherry Wood Dash

The shop is "my own" shop where we've worked on classics for yars and yars...actually have one in Florida, and one in NY. We generally do one or 2 cars at a time, and don't generally contract to the public......our own cars only......we do some restoration on dashes and small parts from time to time, but not in quantity.....mostly for our own cars.

The ALSA we use here is "Killer Chrome", not the Chrome FX. It consists of a high gloss black basecoat, followed by "dustings" of chrome emulsion, then clearcoat. Not as good as vacuum plating for final appearance, but the best out there thus far. The best way I can describe the difference is by "contrast".......a vacuum plate on plastic gives a "sharp" contrast.....ALSA Killer gives a "soft" contrast.

If you know how to prepare your parts properly, you can refinish your 3 part dash for about $80. give or take.........2K clear to finish it will be more.......heck, you could take the parts to your local body shop and have them lay a coat of clear on for you for peanuts....very little time or material needed.....then, just mask and detail.
