So the dash is out of the Coronet and on my workbench. I'm in the process of tagging and removing all the accessories and wiring. The back of the dash along with a snail trail on top where the dash pad ended, has quite a bit of surface rust. I've read a lot of great posts here about painting the dash, most dealing with black. Mine is saddle tan. The front of the dash looks good - no rust and the paint has held up well.
So the decision I'm mulling over and would like some opinions on is: should I media blast the entire dash and repaint, or just try to hand sand the back/top and keep the original suede finish up front? I'm not doing a resto, just cleaning it up.
