A better bet might be powder coating. They do a wrinkle look that is near indistinguishable from paint and it holds up a lot better.

Thank you, the best bet will be the powder coating i will ask a near by fellow that does it.

One point. I recommend covering the inside of the glove box door hinge. Mine was a bit thick and the door had a wider gap.

Hi
Moss sell this Hycote paint

I have used this twice to re-con my dash. It is good but you need to have the dash warm before you spray and have a heat gun ready after you spray. Follow the instructions and you will get a good result.

Here my latest result
