Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
It took three tries to get a console that was in good enough condition to restore. After disassembly I did a rough clean of the three console pieces. Then I stripped them with lacquer thinner. My method was to put them in a large plastic container, cover them liberally with thinner and scrub them with a soft bathroom scrub brush and shop rags. I used chem gloves, respirator and safety glasses (can't imagine doing it without). Once I had them bare I followed these steps to color:
1) Thorough wash with mild dish soap and water
2) Thorough clean with SEM prep soap and water
3) SEM plastic adhesion promoter
4) SEM satin black
I did the inside surfaces of the console one night and the outside surfaces the next morning. I tried to follow the SEM instructions exactly. It took a couple of coats and I used just about a can and a half of color.
