Dash/Console Paint??
I want to repaint my center bezel on my 1986. Does anyone know what products would be the best match to the stock color?? Also what else would I need to do the job correctly?
thanks....

I can't answer your question exactly, but back on 12-01-2011, Joe C made an excellent post in "stripping dulso-part 2-conclusion" in the C4 general discussion forum , which covers refinishing dash parts. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-general discussion/2959173-stripping-dulso-part-2-co..
there is also an UTUBE video from one of those restoration shows, the gist of which is:
remove all old finishes, use TSP;
clean, dry, use wax / grease remover
apply a primer / adhesion promoter, use Dupli Color Adhesion Promoter which is a clear/ whiteish primer
for top coat use Dupli Color in the color of your choice, apply 3, 4, light coats
after drying and allowing to cure, use protectants.
good luck, let us know what works (or doesn't work) for you; I'm in the middle of repairing / modifying the center console of my 96 and refinishing is the next (and hopefully final) step.
