Fellas,
After a number of years and finally enough time, I finally removed my dash to replace some globes, add the cardboard tubes, I didn't realise I needed to when I replaced the facia panel, and apply a metric speedo overlay. So to the point I suppose....I have had a flaked and cracked area of paint below the dash and above and around the column tube, so I rubbed this back today, with varying sizes of "wet n dry", applied some primer undercoat...note pressure pak.
How many coats of acrylic top coat are required to ensure an adequate finish.
If I do the doors....and they need it below the window line, do I...... use steel wool and prepsol and apply a primer undercoat or what should I be looking to do, without damaging the door texture.
Cheers,
Ash.

Use scotchbrite on the doors and don't use too much paint to fill up the grain, be sparing with the primer, Thiners will strip the doors but takes some time.

Shaun,
What your saying is, give the affected areas, a number of wipes with the thinners prior to an undercoat, and just a very light application of primer. OK, so when applying the top coats, I just need to make sure I don't start to loose the texture.

Remember there's nearly 50 years of grubby fingerprints on these panels. I generally use sugar soap to initially clean up all the surfaces then prepsol, sand, more prepsol, then paint. Thinners will soften the old paint, probably not a good idea unless you're going to remove the paint.
