Painting Dash on 65
I have removed the dash pads and will be putting on new skins. I want to paint the dash, but a question. Do I use something like Capt. Lee's to strip the dash before painting, just clean it and skuff it up with something like scotch brite, then paint, or something else. Any help would be appreciated.

No need to strip if paint is in good shape. I scuffed the dash, cleaned, *sealed/primed*, then painted.

I did the scuff, clean, wash, clean, then used a product that helps adhesion and then applied a dye from CC.
I didn't take pics of the process, but this is how it turned out.
Color is off a bit in the photo, but in real life pretty darn close.
Buy extra clips for the pads, I broke a couple.
