I just stripped my Series II dash down to bare bakelite. If I sand a spot with 600 grit the undersurface appears grey. Whatever coats the bakelite to make it black (actually more of a very dark brown) is not paint, or at least a type that resists a methyl hydrate stripper (Circa 1850 in my case). Unfortunately there are just enough surface marks that I'll have to paint it. Tips are welcome.

The dash was painted matte black over grey over YELLOW (sort of a pastel lemony shade).

Could anyone recommend a good thin filler for the dents and scratches (mostly around the cigarette lighter)?
