light switch
I am confused. What held the light switch in before you
painted the
dash? All AMC light switched I have seen in Hornet's and
Gremlins are
held in with that strange flat head with a screwdriver slot
nut/bolt
what ever you want to call it. 99% of all the plastic parts
whether
they are hard or flexible plastic in my latest interior project
were
painted with SEM dye. It can be used on plastic, cloth or
vinal
depending on what base prep you use. I even used it to change
the
headliner from puke tan to black. On the plastic parts I clear
coated
them with 2 coats of semi-gloss SEM after painting them black. I
used it
on my last interior job on my yellow Hornet 5 years ago and it
still
looks like the day I did it. Hard plastic parts that I painted gloss
on
my dash were cleaned or stripped with Castrol Super Clean scuffed
with
600# sand paper, primed with black Plasti-Cote sandable primer,
scuffed
again and painted with Sherman Williams gloss black enamel. When
dry for
a few weeks I rubber the parts out with a paste made from Colgate
Tooth
Paste and Corn Starch. You cannot use regular rubbing compound on
spray
can enamel because the toluene and other chemicals in the compound
will
ruin the paint.
