Mind if I throw another little did bit, or maybe just let Mike comment on it. Seems like everybody wants a factory job, but we are all trying to do it perfectly. Maybe it should be done a little more hap hazard like they did at the factory, to get a more realistic look. 
Not really IMO

What a Richard Cranium. Keep the change.
Thanks  But I have my opinion too and I just don't get why some think that ALL AMERICAN production line workers back then were either drunk, high or both and always did a $#!T quality job?? Why then do we try to make it as nice as we know it was when we took the part off to do a restoration? I see more runs and flaws on a car AFTER it was restored than before. Maybe the car you bought new back in '69 or '70 was built like a piece of cr@p and that's why you have YOUR opinion...mine wasn't. Thanks again for the comp.

I painted mine with the correct Lacquer, I used my old school Binks #7 gun, and I still prefer to spray Lacquer..just hard to find.. Use quailty thinner, not the hardware store stuff, spray it on in thin but wet coats..3 coats should do it. It has been about 4 years, but I think I thinned it about 1 to 1 to get good results. The Binks 7 is more like a garden hose than current guns.. I also painted the steering column on a different day with the same paint.

That ol #7 was a Cadillac in its day! Mine is 31 years old and still looks and sprays like new!

Here is an up close shot of my dash after using the original paint from Mike Mancini's. Shot at 50 on air pressure with a gravity feed gun. Buy the way I was able to shoot two dashes and steering columns and accessories with the one can of paint. I still have a little left in case of an emergency.

70 Road Runner 4 speed

Ok Mike, found the notes on how it was sprayed. Type gun-Sata Mini Jet hvlp Tip size-1.0 Pressure-28lbs 3 light coats (it was only coated enough for full coverage, not piled on thick at all) I have an idea Mike, why don't you do a spray out card for me that shows the desired result, send it out and I'll see how it matches up to my dash and see if I can match it with spray technique.
