mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted November 26, 2014 I am kind of kicking around the idea of doing all of the parts semi-gloss black. I have used Rustoleums plastic paint on a few things and had good results. I completely forgot that I sprayed the inner wheel wells of my F150 (tried to hid the silver) and it has taken 6000 miles of abuse with no chipping etc. I might actually go that route.

1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted November 26, 2014 It might work fine. Be cautious of application thickness. One reason SEM and other interior paints work well is because the thin film thickness they are applied at. It doesn't effect the texture on the surface. Also, the lower dash is not easy to repaint later on after it's installed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted November 26, 2014 Yea, thats a really good point. I have some extra trim that I will spray first and see. I am usually pretty light on my coats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeDemon 211 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 All the plastic (kick panels, rears fastback panels), are semi-gloss black this wasn't the case on my 69. it was very easy to see the metallic on the backside of the kick panel and seat back where there was no grain.

1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 Did Ford offer different black interiors, some with metallic and some without? In this thread is the first I have seen the metallic black paint on interior panels. It's not the first time if I missed something. I've never physically seen metallic black finish on original factory interiors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 I had a black jade 69 CJ with dark green interior, even the Dark green had metallic paint The dash was black metallic.The metallic showed very easily on the back side of the pieces . I have seen dashes that don't have metallic paint ,like my current 69 .Both of my cars were from San Jose so i don't know they were different . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this thread is the first I have seen the metallic black paint on interior panels. It's not the first time if I missed something. I've never physically seen metallic black finish on original factory interiors. I can only speak for my car. I may still have a plastic front seat back in the attic (didn't use because it was cracked). this was the metal piece that forms the rear seat back compared to an aftermarket panel with a black edp coating. this was definitely an unmolested original. paint was applied very thin on this piece. probably since it wasn't seen. closeup of that panel. some interior pieces against a black bracket. the same piece after stripping and applying black epoxy followed by the dark charcoal metallic. compare this 52 mile original mach 1 (photo 15 of 20) to mine which I had sprayed using 32586. http://www.mustangandfords.com/featured-vehicles/mump-1002-1969-ford-mustang-mach-1/photo-gallery/#15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangmike6996 34 Report post Posted December 2, 2014 Well, I laid out 3 coats of semi-gloss black on the lower dash and ash tray. I cant get my pics to upload from my phone. It doesn't look too bad so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protowrxs 111 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 Mine was metal flake as well and this is what I ended up using. Quite happy with it myself for lower dash/glove box and steering column. Just saying... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
