Scott:

I removed my '67 Sprite dash--didn't seem to be that difficult--lots of small 
nuts involved.  But painting it in the original Krinkle finish has proven to 
be a pain in the arse.  I have gotten how-to's and suggestions, followed the 
directions on the can and still end up with some of it looking perfect and 
some of it looking shiny--very uneven.  I have sandblasted it and painted it 
twice in two different ways with unsatisfactory results so far.  I am going 
to sand blast and try it again--only ONCE again--and it it screws up I will 
sand blast it a 4th time and paint it SATIN BLACK!!!!!

Hope you have better luck.
