128 Dash tin refurbish
I was hoping some of you guys that redo a lot of cubs might have some tips and tricks for cleaning up and making the dash tin look better? The one on my 128 isn't bad, but the black has faded somewhat and the polished edges and trim is dull. Just looking for some good ideas. I sure don't want to mess it up doing test and trial stuff on it.
 Thanks In Advance....DWayne I'll post a pic of it here in a little bit when I get back inside the house out of this heat.

I think I seen a thread in the restoration tips area. I can't remember what they used to repaint the black with though. I think you probably want to polish the shiney areas prior to re doing the black, I think you could then tape off those areas, I would use large masking tape, then cut them out with an exacto knife. I think in the thread, they had the decal for the dash and cut out the lettered areas and installed them over there respective areas on the dash panel.
I have done an instrument panel on a chevy truck, however, I wanted paint in the recessed lettering on it, so I painted the hole thing satin black, then carefully, very carefully, took a micro fiber towel just damp with laquer thinner and wiped the paint off of those areas, leaving paint in the recessed letters. I think it would be about the same as the cub dash panel, but I have never attempted to do so. Just tossing out some ideas!

I repainted my 129 dash. First I polished the aluminum with 0000 steel wool, and aluminum polish. I then taped off the polished/lettering areas, and painted the dash with Krylon Fusion Satin Black. It only took a couple hours total, and well worth it.

An update on the dash tin. I got it cleaned up, taped off and painted. I will cut out the PTO, Choke, and Throttle decals when I get my new decal set.
A few pics of the the painted tin and fiberglass tower:

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
