The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Dash paint touch up?

OK I paint the dash last year but it had some dust in it so yesterday I was full of energy and decided to wetsand. I started with 1000 to 1200,1500 and finally 2000. I got the 3M polishing compound and start polishing. WOW was looking good! SO I put on the chrome, glovebox and installed my refurbish gauges and here also. Then I see, OMG and after a few choice words ,calmed down and said I'll just wetsand the chip and touch up with a brush. Don't cha just hate something like that?

The funny thing about things like this is that it's the ONLY thing you'll see on an otherwise beautiful dash. Everyone who takes pride in what they do goes through the same thing... they only see the "mistakes".

Beings how that's a non-metallic color, I'd mask off the cluster and use a touch-up gun and spray. If you still have the same paint, it should blend in perfectly with a little wetsanding and polishing.
