71 Cuda Dash paint

I am refinishing the metal portion of my dash and would like to know the correct paint and finish? Glove box ash tray and frame. Mine currently has a vinyl grain looking paint on it and is not real consistent. Is this correct or?

I have had very good results with SEM trim paint, satin black finish for my 71 Challenger dash metal surfaces. The metal surfaces were smooth and did not have a grainy finish.

Thank you! I have been using that product for years and have also had good success. So It is not have any grain in it?

I like this stuff :HOT ROD BLACK - FLATZ SLOW HR-FLATZ URETHANE QT KIT
it is a urethane paint with a hardener, you will not get that in a spray can... very durable stuff, and very forgiving to spray. $56. seems like a lot, but with a quart you can spray a lot of other parts, like the steering column, bumper brackets, blackout behind the grill, etc.

SEM also makes an etch primer in satin black. use that on the bare metal for better results.
