Tach/Speedo housing finish

[Steve F.]

I am refinishing my tach/speedo green plastic housings, what black interior paint should be applied - flat, semi-flat, semi-gloss, satin???

Steve,

I'm sure there are many but Krylon 1613 Industrial will fill the bill. You will have to order it as the formulation on the shelf is not correct. SEM makes the correct color but I don't know the number.

Hi Steve,
I agree with Joe that the Krylon #1613 is a good choice and worth the effort to obtain. (Someone is now selling it in THE DRIVELINE).
I like it on interior trim parts because it gives good coverage with a thin coat which duplicates the look of the original paint's appearance.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

There are many sources for the correct Krylon semi-flat lacquer we've known and used for decades, in its new "5-Ball" Industrial packaging - here's one:
