Greg,
I also painted the dash on my MGB with the VHT black. It came out
amazingly. I guess the key to it is in the preparation (like all painting
jobs) and the temperature at which it is applied.
I have heard / and seen rather dreadfull attempts at using this stuff.
Guess I was extreemly lucky, and therfore shall quit while still ahead.

Mine was painted while 'still in the car', having removed all the
instruments etc. Preparing was a bummer though.

Still the same stuff.. but different part number cos' of the constituents
that go into it.
