>> The body shop painted the metal part of the dashboard the same as the upper body color (white). I recall it was also painted white by the PO. It was a glossy white, and I got a lot of reflection on the windshield while driving. I've got another dash -that appears to be original, and it looks like it is a satin black. I maybe either have him repaint the one he painted, or just take this old one, and paint it satin black. What was this color originally? I'm thinking flat black would get messy real easy, glossy would be a reflection issue. So it should be satin?
