Dashboard refinish/ Paint

[MattCoppola]

Hi all, I have a green dash pad that I can not find a replacement for I’m thinking of buying a new black one (only one I can find) and painting it. Any suggestions?

No suggestion on dying it but I just saw this NOS green one made of unobtanium!

See @Steve73QMach1 post 21 or really the whole thread it has a great example and instructions for dying a black reproduction.

I followed this example on my interior soft pads (dash, steering wheel pad and console li) with excellent results. We used avocado dye for our interiors. Your color on your 71 is medium green I think. But we’re a couple of examples of it working well.
