Paul White Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hi all, Could I ask some-one to post some good quality (close-up) photos of the original paint finish on the glove box and or instrument surround please Cheers Paul White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 My glove box door is not as faded as the rest of the original dash. Someone advised that it was probably left open and not exposed to the sun when in storage for several years. However, I believe it is a replacement with a working clock.

Bill Stewart Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Paul, I have good pictures of original window garnish and dash, as well as my results using "Grain -it Technologies" supplies. The results are great (in my humble opinion) and the process using Grain-Its stuff was not difficult. I am am electronically challenged so cannot post the pics here but will email them to you. Incidentally, the solid "black" of the dash is not actually full black, but as I recall, "Chancellor" black, which also has some fine metallic in it. If you have a decent original dash you may be able buff it back to life enough to see the metallic in it. I did so and was able to duplicate the color very closely.

Bill Stewart Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Paul, On second thought, your car being a Holden Buick, may not have the same dash and instrument treatment as a US car like mine. Let me know. I can easily take whatever pics you may want of orig or restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Paul, This link gives the correct colour, but some of us, myself included have decided to go non original in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
