Plastic Dash Paint/Restore

I sent my lower dash, gauge pods and glove box door out for paint and was very happy the results. Julie was able to make my dash look new again. A great alternative to expensive Vacuum-Plating

I do a lot of IP Restorations for GM A Bodies and Mopar B Bodies.Its a Hobby .The down side on the 68s through 72s Is there isn't much Chrome showing.I talk more people wanting to restore 68-72 s. due to the cost of Vacuum Metalizing.I recently got a 38% increase from my Plater .No Rhyme no Reason Thats the way it is ." I was told. My Plating.Its hard to justify $390.00 in plating on a 68-72 when only 5% is actually seen.

I would have liked to get it re-vacuumized, but the cost is what kept me away. I remember you helped me out with the rear armrest base backings which they do not repro and they came out very nice. That was some time ago, I've had lots of MAW's.
