Though I don't really know if this is proper, I've seen a couple guys paint their dashes in bumper coating black.  I believe it ends up drying as a semi satin black and it is a very thick coat of paint.  I believe the dashes originally came either a flat black or semi satin black, but I'd wait for someone else to confirm this for you.  Here's a Duster that had the dash painted with bumper coating black.  The dash pad was redyed using SEM's vinyl and plastic dye.

In 1970 the dash color was suede, 1971 and up is satin.
