Do not drill them, it will cause them to stin and damage/scar the plate. I blasted mine lightly and it came out great, I only blasted the front side the back was excellent. Careful, your character's showing!

What paint did you use and were you happy with the results? I tried finding the paint recommended in the post above but I could not find any place local that sells it.

I think cutting off rivets from a dash that you are restoring is opening the door for All it takes is a little extra time and effort to carefully mask the tag for stripping or painting.

Besides with a padded dash (Es, late Bs) you have to remove it to replace the pad. Jamaica, I used Rustolium satin black and was pleased with the results. Painted it flat first but it was too flat so I went back with the satin. Careful, your character's showing!
