I’m looking for the lower A/C bezel for a rallye dash. Doesn’t have to have the A/C controls but would prefer in decent shape. Anyone have an extra? Could trade for a non A/C one in really good shape. I bought an after market one but see the picture below . .
Is the issue how pronounced the wrinkle finish is on the repro?

I was wondering that too. Both halves can be repainted with a wrinkle paint so they'll match.

Yes it is . . Looked at a lot of dashes in the last few years and the aftermarket one seemed to be painted with heavy wrinkle finish. Thought I had this figured out but now not sure. Was hoping to have this back in the car this weekend but not quite ready yet. :thinking:
Here is a thread for what I did with mine.

I knocked down fhe heavy wrinkle with a scotch brite pad. Lightly sprayed over it with Rustoleum textured paint and cleared it.
Matches much better with my slightly worn original radio bezel.

Looks like that is a plan. . . Just bought a can of the recommended paint. Will paint the other side as well and hope I can make it at least match close.
