I stripped mine with strip-eze paint stripper. it came off without much trouble. to restore the finish I found some paint at home depot called American Accents Stone Creations by Rust-Oleum which has a texture similar to the original. I have not finished it yet so I don't know how it will come out. The paint is not available in plain black so I will have to paint over the texture with the appropriate color. -----Original Message- From: Jerome Yuzyk <jerome(at)supernet.ab.ca> Newsgroups: Alpines To: alpines(at)autox.team.net <alpines(at)autox.team.net> Date: Monday, March 16, 1998 4:39 AM Subject: dash paint - what kind?
