After 2 attempts that I was not happy with and stripping the paint twice, I finally got the results I had hoped for with wrinkle paint. Hopefully this info will be helpfull to others.
I had my newly acquired dash(thanks Ray)dipped to get it down to bare metal. Primed it with self etching primer. The first two tries were in my work shop at home that is not heated. I used an electric heater that did not give an even heat to all parts of the dash. This morning I took the primed dash into my shop at work, turned up the heater that blew into the area that I was working, applied 3 coats about 5 mins. apart and presto, success. I think the even heat was the trick. Other than that, I just followed the directions on the can.
Next step now is to remove all the gauges, ect from the old dash and reinstall in them in the newly painted one.
I had read a thread on wrinkle paint here in the past, but thought this might help someone down the road.
