Correct instrument paint

Does anyone know the correct color (or close) to the gold/yellow used on 48-50' instrument clusters.

I don't know the color, but if you are redoing your guages, you can buy new face decals for those on e-bay.

Theres a couple kits...one has thefour gauges and the other has a couple speedomemter faces in addition tothe gauges.

They aren't on there at the moment.

I might check the resto parts houses: Carpenter; C&G; MACs;and LMC.

Good luck,
Julie

cluster paint

I used an off the shelf rattle can color on my instrument panel, close enough for me and a close match to the "Tuscon Tan" color of my grill. Don't have number but could get it for you .....in 10 days when I'm off work,pic in gallery.
