1970 Dash/ Plastic Restoration

Finally getting back to the restoration on my 70 W-30 convertible. There is quite a bit of smooth black plastic on the interior of the trim (w/o grain).
Specifically, the lower (below dash) A/C vents that are next to the 8 track unit, instrument panel, etc....What is the proper method for restoring this plastic trim to the correct color, sheen, texture, etc...


Thanks!!!

SEM makes a low gloss paint that works great on plastic.


It is called Trim Black.

If it's the colour you want, try "flashing" it with a heat gun. Check youtube for examples of restoring plastics that way.

I haven't tried it yet myself but it looks like a viable option.
