Re: [FWDLK] Dashboard Paint

Well, then, if the Plymouth dash had the more conventional wrinkle finish, that can be done with VHT (brand) wrinkle finish, and it can be bought in an aerosol can at a good auto parts store.  I've found that it helps to carefully and consistently warm the paint after application with a heat gun or hair dryer to get a consistent wrinkle affect.

DeSoto and Plymouth had totally different dash finishes.  Sorry.

We just had this discussion over on the NDC discussion board due to the '56 DeSoto we are restoring.  The answer I got was to use PPG (Ditzler) "Texture Additive".  I've not checked with my PPG supplier yet, but I trust the information from Martin.  My question was specifically directed to the texture on the dash of the DeSoto.  Hopefully, it would cross over to your Plymouth!

 

Hope this helps

I have another question about the '57 Belvedere dashboard.  What kind of paint did they use to get the textured dashboard?  I'm at that stage also.  Please let me know as they're supposed to do the dash in the next few days.  Thanks all.
