Can anyone tell me the best finish for them i.e. Varnish or Lacquer?
Ps If you remember I put a couple posts on a few months ago (engine problems, Rarebits engine)
Well the engine is now rebuilt and back in the car. I am going start it up on Friday fingers crossed.
Just want to say thanks for all your help

Well done and good luck!

The product you want is called something like "Rustin's Plastic Coating" - if done properly it comes out looking factory. I have not used it myself but have seen the results.

That's the stuff, I'm using it now, and it is excelent stuff.  I am building a stereo and oil pressure gauge mount, and I have veneered a piece of plywood to exactly match the dashboard (offcut of the very same veneer I used to renew the dash...) and then use the rustin's over the top.

It polishes up well, and is good to use.  1 part hardener to 4 parts laquer, stays workable in the jar for 2-3 days.
