Hello all,
I am currently in the process of redoing the interior on my 68 Firebird. Included in the process is changing the color of the interior from its original Ivy Gold over to Black. With everything else, this change has been handled by purchasing new parts, but with the dash (and a few spots by the C-pillar) it looks like I'll have to get out the paint cans. Has anyone done this before? What kind of prep work did you need to do and what paint works best? I am especially concerned about getting the top of the dash at the front where it meets the windshield, and for this I think I'll be pulling the front glass. Any hints or tips that you guys have would be a great help, I'd hate to go as far as I have with this and have it look bad because I half-assed it on the paint....
Thanks,
Jeremy
