Hi to All,
The Dash in my "69 is in good shape but the silver/chrome detail around many of the guages and other "touch" points is warn away. Is their a good way to restore this?
Thanks for the help

If you have a real steady hand, youmight try a paint "pen" with silver paint in it-Testors what I used. Not "perfect" by any means (I'm not THAT steady) but it came out pretty good. I think there is a place or two that can restore the entire dash bezel but it's pricey. Good luck!

I did the paint pen thing also and it turned out pretty nice. Way better than it looked before I started. Here is a link to a pic of a section of the dash after I painted it.

I just used semi flat by krylon. Did it about 5 years ago and it still looks great. If i did it again I would use the new fusion paint for plastic.
I see you live in New Smyrna. I grew up in Daytona.......
