Hello, I took my dash out to repaint and restore. The lower part of the plastic has several holes in it, from years of aftmkt tach's and whatevers. what is the best way to fill these holes?? also was the trim around the gauge bezels silver or white, do I use a toothpick or very fine paint brush to paint?? thanks for any help!! Jack

follow up, I have a 70 SS, when I bought the car I wasn't paying attention to the front seats!! they are buckets but no headrest, are these 70's or earlier model seats, they are in excellent cond. but just wondering, all the books say, w/ headrest??, also on my dash there are sratches on the face can you use something to fill and smooth prior to repainting???

thx Jack

I use a good plastic weld to fill. The original dash was chrome plated then painted dash color except thin outlines around the gagues, dash vent, heat/ac controls radio and perimeter of dash. The 4 small circles (left/right turn, high beam, brake)are dash color not chrome. There are a few places that will do this but it is very expensive. Most people paint the dash then outline with a silver paint pen from a hobby or craft store. I think that all 70's buckets had head rest.

68 had no headrests, 69-72 did. Those may be recovered 70 seats and they removed the headrests.
