'69 Camaro blue dash pad
 
Just like the title says, I'm seeking a non A/C dash pad in Blue for a '69 Camaro. Prefer original in NOS or near mint condition. Not really in a hurry, but don't want junk.
Thanks

Tom ...what did your dash pad sell for ? I know they are expensive and hard to find . I have seen as high as $2,400

the issue with dash pads nos is finding one that is in mint shape....the longer you keep it the potential for detachment and shrinkage......many nos ones have issues...

If there is a mint one out there - it would not surprise me to see if sell at 2500 - 3000 these days

JMHO......:-)

When you have to have it.......

I agree Ed...didn't know they would command that much $$. I have been fortunate to acquire 3 of them over the years. They are in my office on my drafting table

I'm a little reluctant to try dying the one I have. It is perfect and I'd like it to stay that way. I'm in no hurry.

You're really not &quot;dyeing&quot; it.....
.you're actually painting it with a lacquer base spray in your color choice.
Only leathers can be dyed.
All Vinyls are molded in color
or &quot;Painted&quot;

Very good point, not sure where that term dyeing even came from. Even if you found a good blue pad it would most likely need painted with a custom mixed SEM, and if done correctly it would look like new with a nice sheen to it.
The United paint sales here in Canton OH has a SEM mixing bank.
