Damnit! &nbsp;I tried really hard too, considering my horribly dirty working environment. I didn&#8217;t use the air hose at all today before painting (to avoid making dust airborne). I cleaned and wiped everything down by hand, masked it all off carefully, used a tack rag&#8230; and BAH! DUST! &nbsp;So now I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;m going to do. You can definitely see it when you look close, and there are several fairly big bits of dust that you can see easily. It&#8217;s not going to be good enough to leave it as-is, which was my worry going into this. Ya can&#8217;t really cut and buff this stuff, or so they say. I&#8217;ve heard that you can do very minor cut\/buff spots, then light hand buff all over to match&#8230; which is what I may end up doing. Worse case scenario, I scuff the whole things and re-shoot. &nbsp;I&#8217;m not sure, but I think where I went wrong was in not covering up the floor of the car. Even though I was shooting a good ways away from the floor, I might have still kicked up dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up using PPG DAR Acrylic Enamel for this&#8230; oldschool! I was debating between using DCC Acrylic Urethane or this quart of Eastwood &#8220;2k underhood black&#8221; I have that is pre-flattened. I ALMOST went with the Eastwood, but then I opened up the can, it just didn&#8217;t look like a really good dark black, like the PPG stuff. Not to mention, Eastwood products, while they may be good, seem to have this sort of amature reputation. So why did I shoot Acrylic Enamel instead of Urethane? I was out of hardener for the urethane! And I had about half a quart of Enamel leftover from quite a few years ago. I just dumped in the appropriate ratio of DX685 flattener to get to the &#8220;eggshell&#8221; level, then a tad more for good measure, mixed it up real good&#8230; and now i have the rest of this Quart pre-flattened for when I shoot the gauge pods and other interior bits. &nbsp;Let&#8217;s hope the gloss will match!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dashpainted-001\" class=\"wp-image-596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-001.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dashpainted-002\" class=\"wp-image-597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.60impala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DashPainted-002.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, the dash, err sorry&#8230; the &#8220;instrument panel&#8221; has paint on it, and it&#8217;s BLACK! &nbsp;That means the decision has been finalized&#8230; the interior will be black and white, just like when it left the factory.
