Re: Replicating orginial green dash pad
Since you don't want a glossy finish on the dash pad, the best way is to hold the gun about 12 - 14 way from the pad and kinda fog it instead of laying the paint down heavy. You can do this as many times as you need to until the light spots are gone. I usually wait 5 mins or so between each coat. I see cars and trucks and car shows that someone layed the paint down so thick that it almost does away with the grain of the vinyl. That looks likes crap, and you want to avoid that. Another plus about dying one of these dashs is that the pad is not touched very often. Parts such as door panels , kick panels (in cars mostly) and armrests tend to have the dye wear off over time because there is constant contact with. You really only touch the pads when you clean them in these trucks, so there is no real fear of the dye wearing off.
