Custom 1955 TBird Dash Question
This summer I will be refurbishing the dash in my 1955 Thunderbird. I will be removing the dash and gluing on a new red vinyl covering. Ford painted the bottom of the dash, glove box and ash tray with wrinkle paint to look like vinyl. Has anyone ever thought about gluing vinyl to the bottom of the dash instead of painting it?

I'm just speculating, but I doubt that Ford was trying to make it look like vinyl. The vinyl used for the top was smooth so no need to have it "spatter" painted other than esthetics
