I would imagine you could use any paint that would match up. Model paint would work as would any enamel. I have done several instrument panels on old airplanes. We just took our time. We hand painted the lil stuff and air brushed the larger stuff. Masking tape and a sharp Exacto knife are a must. Take yur time. I have used toothpaste on the plastic cover to get minor sratches off. Pepsodent or any whitening toothpaste works best. Rinse well so it doesnt get a white film on it afterwords.

what I use for the clear plastic is "Meguiars mirror glaze professional clear plastic polish" works good for me. It also works good on tail/signal lite lenes.
