I just redid mine as well.  I went to a hobby store and got a silver paint pen.  Came out pretty good and goes with the rest of the custom dash.


Before


After


I just cleaned it up real good and gave it a shot of black, then the silver paint pen.  Came out real nice.

If you have any questions, or need more pics.  Let me know.

Hi Guys :wave: , The correct color to be using is White......... But if you guys want to use Silver, that will look allright :bananasmi

 :iagree:  Mine is original and only slightly worn.

Ryan (and others) -- as to the Black Paint on these -- what brand did you use?   Flat vs. Satin?   Any difference between what is used between '70 vs. other years?   Finally -- any difference between Rallye vs. Non-rallye bezels

Thanks

I went with flat black.  Of course nothing on my car is stock, so I don't know if it is correct or not.  Sorry

Mine is flat black, non rallye.  It's never been refinished.  It's from 1973, not sure about any other year, although my car was built in 1972.  Hope that helps.
