Backdash Hardboard ~ Paint?

[Bea]

Good Morning All!

The backdash "hardboard" needs to repainted...I've got what I need here to do it, just need some of your expert advise.

On the seam of the hard board it is flaking (just a little) What should I use to seal that back down or how can I fix it? Just don't want the paint to make it seperate or make the hardboard soak it up and expand.



~ Enjoy your java and chat back. Many Thanks, Bea

The "package tray".

needs to repainted

See here for info on repainting soft parts. And be advised that REM make a nice new one (paintable to match) if yours winds up being unsalvageable.

What should I use to seal that back down

Lightly sand it smooth with fine-grit sandpaper, wipe away the sanding dust with a slightly damp cloth or a tack rag, then hit it with a couple coats of Workable Fixatif (comes in a spray can from a good art-supply store).

In another thread I think he mentioned the thick, tarpaper like, insulation on the passenger compartment side of the firewall.

I think this is what he is trying to clean up.

Or I may be totally wrong.
