It comes in a rattle can but its not paint,it really does work,the trick is to scrub every piece of what your gonna color,I set my dash pad in the bath tub and scrubbed the hell out it with dish soap and a vinyl brush,I practiced on a junk piece and when it dried I could'nt get it to scratch until I keyed it,this stuff is Dupli-Color made buy Sherwin Williams

Thumbs up
Thats good to know!

That is one of the projects on my list: 81-84 Dash & instrument bezel. Good to know that it'll fit up.

I've already got the newer style gauges out of an 85 and it looks very nice!!! I've also got a steering wheel from an airbag-less 94. Can't wait to get the rest of the dash and the new seat in there.
