I would not blast that fiberglass dash (waterfall) Chris. It will create too much texture unless you're using soda. Just wipe it down with lacquer thinners (several times ... with different cloths each time) to ensure all ArmourAll and other contaminants are gone before painting.

Still having trouble with the bright blue interior paint
I mixed up a pint of the code above it is way too violet
Anyone have any luck with a PPG code or a WA number I can try?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried the PPG Color Librarian at (440) 572-6111? That number was good when I was painting my '57 in 1995.

If John's PPG contact doesn't work Chris, the chart above does show the correct PPG/Ditzler code of the dash waterfall ... 3 Gloss (flat) - DIA-13071. If you can't find the recipe for PPG, here's a couple more ... BASF is 65V51R, and DuPont is 9223-LH which requires the addition of 2oz of DuPont 4528 flattening compound per pint of unreduced color.
For the 60 Gloss (semi-gloss) the PPG code is DL-13057. BASF is 66B29 and DuPont is 9271-LH and also requires 2ozz of DuPont 4528 per pint of unreduced color.
In my neck of the woods I have not found any PPG paint supplier that still lists DIA-13071 in order to show the mix recipe. The best I was able to do was to have them scan a radio side panel and attempt to mix based on that. But after 50+ years all original panels, even the ones like this that typically have limited sun exposure are much darker than they were originally. Keep us tuned as to how you make out. Cheers, Bill

Chris:
If the finish turns out glossier than you want, you can use Krylon Satin Clear acrylic to tone it down. Kinda hokey but it definitely works and hasn't yellowed after 10+ years.
FWIW I have always used the colored matched spray "dye" rather than pursuing a custom mix, since my paint dealers couldn't bring up the codes.
