a couple of coats of rattle can etch primer. 30 min to dry then straight over with a dusty coat then build up two more coats to a good finish. With this
Not sure but I think ecklers have all the corvette colours . Try scott at ck or gavin. Or maybe gooleauto te
Ecklers sell all the colours of vette trim paints I believe.

Going to try to remove the map pocket panel next as it just looks a bit tired, will repaint the panel but may buy a new pocket if i cant spruce it up a bit . I think just the pocket is available . Any one removed this panel , or know what happens to the pull knob for the ball vent ? How do i remove , or does it come off with the panel ? Thank you

Hi , anyone know how to remove the pull knob in the passenger side lower dash , map pocket trim. It doesnt seem to unscrew. ?
Kick panels done, so today I took out the map pocket trim, the pocket was looking pretty dry and tired, gave that a good feed with a lanolin leather cream . Removed and freed up the ball vent and repainted the plastic lower dash trim. Just a bit of re fitting and then back in the car.. will gradually refresh all the interior trim. Very satisfying
You must be well pleased . I did the same to my grill panels along with flippy floppy rubberised handbrake centre console. Even by in period Yank build quality that really is one god awefull detail , its like a jelly mold 
Yes, my t top trims will be next I think. Nearly have all the bits to fit the period lap and shoulder belts now, . None of my bits were really tatty, more just edgy that collectively made the cockpit a bit worn, hoping now it will just have lifted it enough to make it a little nicer place to be but still have that original feel.Looking really good Mad4 , all the bits you have done look like brand new
Also sprayed the seat buckets and backs in trim black too before fitting the new leather upholstery . As you say , very satisfying and a very cost effective way refurbishing the interior . I also stripped out all the A and B post trim sections plus screen and T top trims and prepped and resprayed them in Oatmeal colour to match door cards and new seats .
Good work, a lot of vettes have a cabin where you just wouldnt want to spend much time. Been put off buying loads of cars over the years down to the amount of work needed on the interior.
After a 100 mile trip up north , I nearly walked away when I first saw the interior on mine ! The exterior was stunning as per the photos in the advert but the interior was a shabby mish mash of half arsed attempts by someone to paint odd bits black . With over paint and drips here and there . The carpets had gone ginger in the sun and seat belts were frayed . Also during shipping from Japan some moron had driven it with thick black oil on their boots , probably marine oil . Nothing would shift it from the footwell carpets. Spent 2 hours going over the car , test driving and mulling it over . The chassis was sound so decided to go ahead .
