Okay thanks for that , the dash in your photo looks great - well done. In regards to paint I should have explained myself better. When you repaint the van will you be going 2 pak?? Most people seem to go with 2pak better off the gun finish, harder finish etc. My neighbour is old school and is currently restoring 2 genuine Gtr XU1 Toranas, the 1st one which was fully stripped he has painted himself in acrylic and it looks great. The panel beater that came to look at my van says 2 pak is better especially with reds which tend to fade and you need to keep the wax up to them. Personally I think that is one of the joys of having a much loved car in the cleaning and polishing to keep it looking great. My panel beater also claims that 2 paks are now better in regards to being able to do small touch up jobs and not having to do the whole panel again if you get a spot of rust etc. I have noticed with some 2 pak jobs and I am talking new cars of that orange peel look. Is 2 pak the way to go??
