1969Mk3Spitfire Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Per the title, I’ve obtained a missing piece of dash for my car but it requires painting before installation. Is there a way to reproduce the surface finish, don’t know how to correctly describe it but I’m sure you know what I mean 😁 Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Crackle Black was the last I used... ok but not great. I'm trying to find something that will replicate the early fibreboard Herald dashboard, there has to be something out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 VHT wrinkle finish paint is available from high street motor factors. If applied right it gives a good finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 My gloss finishes are quite dull recently, but not crackled. I think it's to do with the heat, of which there is none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
