What kind of paint to use when restoring a 67-68 door that is black with the gray trim ? Thanks,buddy

I'm gonna powdercoat mine black along with the ash tray. I'll do your glove box door for $20.00 and you pay shipping each way or I have an extra glove box door for $45.00 plus shipping

Check with special-K. I think he had something figured out that looked good.

I used a spray can spray in bedliner coating from wal-mart. I also used aluminum colored paint, let it completely dry (the aluminum paint took SEVERAL days to dry!), wiped it down to take the luster away, then cleared it. Not 100% original, but cheap and I like it.

I did mine similar to rednecks . Painted the inside with flat black , then taped the inide off and used aluminum paint on the outter ring . Came out pretty good . Should have wiped the finger prints off before the picture though .

Dash looks nice, especially with the white faced gauges.
