I've pulled the front glass, and all for this restore, but I've come to a bit a block, what do I paint this? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm lacking any reliable resources on this... and definitely want to bring her back to stock.
Also - can anyone suggest a quality paint? Currently she is sun bleached, chipping, and I'm pretty sure not original.
Note - 52 2 door hardtop 'belaire'

For the dash color of a 1952 Bel Air it will depend on the exterior color of the car.???

Wasn't sure. I know, it's a stupid question.

Not a stupid question and has been asked before....what color do you plan on painting the car (not roof color).

Thanks for being generous with the new guys!! I saw this guys car on the site and fell in love with it. I never thought I would like that color, but it is pretty classy. ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/brewsterg6/six%20cylinder%20tour%20Cavendish%202013/IMG_4702.jpg) I'm not sure if that was available in 52 though. The paint chip LOOKS like sahara beige?

I wasn't aware that Canada had its own colors! Do you know what it was called?
