1970 Barracuda Dash Paint

I have a green interior in my 1970 Barracuda... where do I get the paint for the dash? Any dealers?

Any good auto paint place should be able to mix up what you want. Take them a sample.. ash tray/ glove box door, for example.

If you are going to paint the dash frame and steering column use whatever matches, but when you paint the dash pad add a “flattener” to the paint. A glossy paint on the dash pad reflects sunlight straight into your face.

FYI, Flatteners, hardeners , anti-fisheye, additives should be readily available at the auto paint store. They should also have flex additives and stuff to help paint bind to plastics. Talk to them; most are very knowledgeable.

Instrument Specialties. They have the oem suede finish in the oem lacquer. 401.267.0055
Roger Gibson may as well.
I found another place that may be good as well. Not sure if it’s lacquer or not.
It’s 877-4paint1. Or 8774paint1.com.
