    picture of black area on doors and front dash: is this correct?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for feedback as to whether what I am showing below (not my car) is the correct areas to apply the black paint on the inside of the doors and front dash area. I thought the latter was only on the visible area of the dash, but I must confess that I do not know for sure. I also thought that the shifter and handbrake areas also were oversprayed black... In my case, it will be for a 1972 model year.

    i know there are many threads on this, but I have been searching on and off for a long time without finding a picture like this one. Apologies to the owner of the picture, I hope they do not mind me re-posting it here.

    Thanks for all your input and feedback, I hope this can be a future reference for someone else if it is correct.

    Dario

    Yes on the doors, as shown, yes to black sprayed around hand brake, shifter, seat rail mounts, (including on tunnel), and rear jump seat pivots. The idea was to not allow any body color too
    show past any carpet edge.

    Diversion on this thread, does anybody know a quality spray can to paint the Dash gauge panel.? Assuming a matte black is correct, possibly flat (for glare purposes).? Thx in advance

    That's perfectly in the thread, no diversion! I have come to the conclusion that it is supposed to be semi-gloss, not exactly flat. What about the picture, is it correct to paint the whole front area black like that?

    I used the Wurth Satin Trim paint and it looks great and very close to original: https://www.autogeek.net/wufltrpa.html

    For LWB cars, the door edges were painted by hand with a brush, the area's inside the car were painted with a spray system. There is a picture on this site somewhere of a guy in the factory holding a really nasty looking brush in a can of black paint....about ready to start slinging some black paint around on a car
