With the reducer and hardener, that's like a half a gallon of paint. I hope to hell it isn't a run factory! He told me the label called for 2 to 3 layers for good coverage. He said it didn't start looking good until 3, so he did a 4th to make sure. I don't care as long as it looks good! I'll buy more paint! :lol:

Thanks! You could probably make it work with some mods.

I'm leaning towards semi gloss or near flat black on mine too.

Ryan, I had all of my dash hugger orange in a 72 swb 4x4 I built from frame up. I put the chrome vents in the top of the dash with a black dash pad. Looked very nice. I even wetsanded and buffed the dash ( very anal ) it was clean!! I'll try to find some pics of it this weekend.

First off, LOOKING GOOD, Ryan! Second, if it were me, I'd leave it as is. I am a stock looking man myself. However, you need to do what makes you happy and speaks to you and your taste. You're the only one that really needs to love it. Either way, I know it will look great whatever you decide to do. Keep up the great progress, buddy!
