After sandblast I epoxied and painted the dash with PPG Ford Dark Red (factory Match) This was about a year ago. I am in the assembly part of my build and I was assembling the dash when I noticed that the clear coat chipped and pealed really easy around the Ignition Key hole when I was installing the lock cylinder/ign. switch. Seems like around edges it flakes off if I work at it with my fingernail.
I had an issue with the base when I sprayed it. I was a single stage PPG Duracryl Paint patched to Ford Factory "Red Poly" code 71541 lacquer. It came out very flat and had no shine to it no matter what I did.. I made a last minute decision to shoot it all in SPI clear before my recoat window was up. It turned out beautiful and had the look we wanted. Universal Clear was sprayed when I was down to about three hours till the cutoff to the recoat window. I don't know if that was the issue or not. Maybe the base was too cured for the SPI to stick.
I need to repaint the dash area now because I don't trust it. Did I get to close to the window or do I find a different kind/brand of paint for the base?
