68' Barracuda instrument cluster: as posted already, the only thing wrong with it is the black paint is faded and flaking off and the chrome is mostly gone. Mechanically, it is fine. I have sanded it all down to the plastic. Having painted the glove box trim, I realize the chrome won't quite be as bright as factory but the colors will match. Taping to paint the 3 colors, black, silver, and chrome is challenge enough but now I'm told I need to use a primer made for plastic. So I go to O'Reillys' (not a courteous or friendly bunch anytime I've gone in there) and they no, I need to spray an epoxy (they don't have) on the plastic and then use regular primer. What is correct about any of this? Thanks for the help...
