     Hi Bob,
     Do you think we should have a vote on the official name for this 
     paint? Is it crickle, crinkle, crackle, or wrinkle? 
     Jim

      Can anyone confirm whether all 3As had crackle-texture paint on the 
      instrument panel? I know earlier models had coloured ones but my 
      concern is just with the black ones from later cars.
     
      Mine is presently NOT crackle paint, and I wonder whether I need to 
      re-do it for a proper restoration, or if sometimes they were just 
      plain black. >>
     
Everything I've seen calls for crickle paint, black in color.  If the car is 
apart it's easy to do.  My 59 has some strange brown color on that plate,but 
I've never fooled with it.  The rest of the dash is crinkle black though :~) 
maybe that will make up for the center panel !!
