If you look at some of the earlier pic's you will see that at some time in it's past a previous owner painted the dash a different color.... And, as long as we had to paint the new steering column we figured we might as well paint the dash to match.... Went to a local auto paint store and ordered a couple Rattle cans of the correct color, my concern at the time was that they could only mix the paint in gloss..... I wanted satin finish so Jeff and Judy wouldn't be blinded by the reflection while driving in bright sunlight...… Hummm….. I thought that maybe I could spray it in satin clear after painting to reduce the glare...…. So, I get the steering column back from Donnie at Frame-up after he installed the wiring for the combo cruise control turn signal handle.... Sanded and cleaned the dash and got out the rattle cans...…. Mixed them up good and after masking everything off I started spraying the dash.... Humm….. The spray pattern from the can wasn't your typical fine spray pattern...… So... I kept spraying trying to get a smooth finish but it wasn't happening..... Anyhow when I was finished and the paint dried it ended up with sort of a Satin finish due to the weird spray pattern...….. Exactly what I was looking for.... LOL..... Rattle can special.....Got the column painted and installed...… Got all the steering linkage and cable shifter installed for the last time...… Then I went back to Frame up and got another fitting I was missing to get the Hydra Boost return lines installed correctly...…. And while I was there the A/C system showed up...… started installing it and will get the lines completed in the next day or so...… Moving along
