Re: help with rear deck refurb on 79 corvette (wildone)
Are you talking about the "package tray" inside the car? If you are, you could be starting a big job!!! Not 'cause that piece is difficult to do, but, depending on your interior colour, you could end up re-dying your entire interior!!!
It's not that tough. Remove the part to be "painted" and clean thoroughly, then clean it again, then wipe down with a solvent (mineral pirits or the like) and paint it with a flat black plastic paint. (SEM is often recomended here). You shouldn't sand the interior parts, as you could wipe out the moulded "texture" GM gave it... If you have any other Q's, don't hesitate!
