The removable dash panel on my 1932 AG tourer I discover has original crackle finish paint under the Patent Plate! Mr Mills shows one piece dashes crackled, but not one with the removable section. I was preparing the panel for painting & found this!
So now it will go & be crackled (by the local powder coaters who also do a good crackle! ) I am considering having the running boards powder coated black....any experience out there?
The wings and running boards on my Ulster were powder coated in 1990 - after over 90'000 miles of hard use they are still pretty much the same as when I did them - wish I could say the same for myself.

Regarding the crackle finish applied to the car dashboard originally.
Is the base colour also black or is it another colour with the black on top? The attached picture shows grey as a base colour and black on top.
The original finish was just plain black. I used a paint sold for old radio repairs which was brushed on in one coat and cured in a slightly damp atmosphere (I used a calor gas stove).
