It's not super complicated. Maybe someone who has recently done one will chime in with a photo-montage. Is your column black? if it is a color, then they will need the color you are painting the other metal parts (lower dash) with.

I used Rustoleum texture paint and was very happy with the end result. 8358826-PICT1893_fixed.jpg (69 downloads) Follow my Duster 340 restoration progress on FABO http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=225784 Kevin

The blue column the entire shaft was plated yellow zinc,,which is wrong. The black one just the lever and down is plated and the rest of the tube was left bare steel and treated with RPM When I did the 1st one I didnt think to ask if just the lower lever could be plated. (now I know ) Basically your asking the plater to do the process by hand
