Can anyone recommend a good vinyl die/paint
Ive got to paint some of the interior pieces black. I'm not sure whether to get gloss or matte finish. Can anyone reccomend a good paint/die or whatever that can work on the dash and armrests . Thwe armrests need to go from white to black and the dash needs to go from gold to black... Unless someone wants to trade a black dash for a gold '68 - 50th anniv. dash.

I did my dash pad, arm rests, headliner, and visors a little over a year ago, and with the exception of the arm rests, they are holding up fine, The arm rest gets too much contact, and is a softer piece, so the dye/paint is coming off.
I used Plasti-Cote Ultra Vinyl Color in glos black. Easy to use spray can too. Shoot the arm rests, and that'll gove you a year to find black ones. Make sure the surface is D@MN clean. Otherwise, you will get fish eye. i got some spray on paint prep, that did the trick after nothign else would. (can't remember the name of it thoguh) ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

I have used the cheaper stuff, but Sem is much better. Cost me $8 a can at a body shop supply store, but changed red to blue in 2 light coats and will only come off if the plastic is gouged. You might also want to go to a trim shop and ask them what they use. My .02.
