On smoothing and painting the dash: a thread on another forum

Jordan,
I found this thread on FSC as you suggested:
http://www.fullsizechevy.com/showthr...ide-(hopefully)
Looks interesting -- I almost have the dash out, I'm down to the two rivets behind the instrument cluster. Might as well take it on out and see how clean I can get it.

I hope to begin the long process once school is out and I am able to focus 90% of my attention to it. From what I've read, you need to completely remove the dash, then do a quick sand with 80 grit, then 120 grit, then 400 grit followed by paint and several layers of clear coat, but don't take my word for it. It's been a while since I looked much into due to a busy schedule (if I'm not at school I'm at work trying to get money together for wheels) so your best bet is just to do a search at fullsizechevy. Sorry I can't be of much help! All I recall is that it is quite the task to complete that requires a lot of patience

take care,
Jordan
