Re: Dash refinishing experiences

The GTI paint is a base coat, rather than a primer. I use Rustoleum red primer, then put the GTI base color coat over that. In my experience, the GTI paint will allow you to wipe off the ink without a residue if you are not happy with the results, whereas paint that you can get locally, i.e Rustoleum smears. There are about 8 or so different base colors, allowing for an entirely different look of the finished product.
For example, here is a dash from a 34 Chevy I did earlier this year. It used the same burl pattern, but a different color base coat; more yellowish and so looks much different than the Packard version.
Be sure to wait at least two days before you try the toner. I wiped off the first job I did because the ink hadn't cured enough. Once the toner is dry, then give it two or three coats of clear, and buff it with a good polishing compound.
