As far as any year (64-68) GTO that has a black painted metal dash I have good luck over the years using Krylon 12 oz. spray cans. Their # 1613 semi-flat black is awesome.

This post applies to the front of the dash, NOT the top. The top of the metal dash cars was always painted zero gloss.

NOTE: about 5 or 6 years ago they changed the formula available at Retail. ( I used to be able to buy that paint and any Home Improvement store.) Now they sell a retail version and an Industrial version. Weird, both are sold under the same color name and part number.

YOU DO NOT WANT the "new" retail version!!! The best paint is the Industrial version which is what they used to sell everywhere. You have to order the industrial mix thru one of those factory supply catalogs or websites. I ordered a case which is 1/2 dozen 12 oz. cans. Ready to spray. The way you tell between the 2 is the cap. The new retail paint, the top cap cover is dome shaped, almost like a cone. It's crappy paint, the formula has been changed to comply (I am guessing) with some new EPA guideline.

The old version, the cap is like any normal spray paint top cap; the cap is tall and has a flat top. I spray it out using 2 thin coats, never spray it all out with one heavy coat!! Allow some dry time in-between coats. 2 to 3 days, or a week, is fine. It dries to a perfect 60% gloss. Watch out for moisture in the air, if you spray this stuff in humid weather it will blush! I spray in the shade to allow the paint time to "level out."
