I have removed the windshield (69 Malibu Conv)to repair the perforated section just below the windshield (Por 15 epoxy putty). I will repaint this area with por 15 as it will not be exposed to sunlight.
I want to repaint the dashboard while I have the glass out. The question for you Canadian guys/gals, what kind of paint? (flat, semigloss)What brand? and where can I get it?.
Thanks
John

Apparently, the Canadian guys and gals don't know the answer..... you might try asking the American guys and gals to see if maybe they know :D

I just did the EXACT same thing on my 69 convertible.(see enginedetail link in sig) Bill Pritchard gave me great advice on what paint to use and it worked out great, but I can't remember...I think it was a flat black and I just kind of "dusted" it..didn't lay it on heavy. It turned out really nice. Lookup Bill (username Bill Pritchard) and ask him again. He's done a couple 69 convertibles and has always helped me out...

Hope this helps,
