Type of Paint used on Gage Bezel Question

[76okievette]

I am painting the black parts of my gage bezal and shifter plate. I painted the shifter plate with enamel but some of it looked like it did not stick to well (had some bubbles I had to sand off) so I was wondering if the orginal paint was a lacquer. Should I be using lacquer to spray over the orginal paint or will the enamel work. I did get the shifter plate painted and it looks good but before I started the gage bezel I wanted to be sure.
How about it PaintDaddy you have given me some good advice in the past about paint what do you know about the type of paint used on the interior parts. Thanks PC

Hey ,I just found this,sorry for the delay.If you still need an answer ,use vinyl dye.Its really just an elastomeric lacquer paint.On the shifter console and items like that ,I usually paint them ,chrome and all and then immediately come back and wipe off the chrome edges with lacquer thinner.Hope this helps.

Thanks, that's exactly what I did, I used a semi-gloss black on the instrument bezel and it turned out nice. The vinyl paint worked great primed it with a wipe down of lacquer thinner which worked great. Thanks again.

I stripped mine with laquer thinner and then just used Krylon semi-flat black. Worked and looks great.
