If you take the chrome trim off the glovebox you will see what the original
paint finish looked like. It is more of a pebble grain than wrinkle.
Back when I worked at Scotland Yard in Colorado, Paul Dierschow one of the
owners was able to get fantastic results using a local powder coat company.
I had two dashes done back then (circa 87) they both have given stellar
service with no fading, scratching etc. They are much closer to the
original finish than I have ever seen achieved with wrinkle paint. Get your
dash vent covers done at the same time.
I believe the finish was one of the mattes available by shooting the powder
on at lower temps.
I'd love to duplicate the process, as I have a RHD dash that needs to be
refinished.
All the best
