Hi.

Prior to restoration, the dash was silver with chrome surround (faded and looked more like gold in the picture). This was when the interior was "oceans of black".

Now that the interior is mix beige/tan seats and doorcards with a white exterior, I was wondering what color should I paint the dashcover. I cant find a decent place around here that would do chrome on plastics - there was one but he wanted $250 bucks!! I tried silver paint but looked fugly... i.e. not the same as chrome.

Some Valiant VCs in Australia (which has the same Dash as my RHD Dart) had all white dashcover

I was thinkin' either painting the whole thing beige/tan following the theme of the interior, or all white (like the exterior) with some black lining around the perimeter.

Hmm... decisions... decisions...
