Is the green paint on the back side of the instrument cluster available?
Thanks,
Ray

That exact paint, name unknown might be available. I found Krylon "Green Apple" suitable for me when I did my cluster. Others have used white, silver and other variations of the factory green. Dennis

Thanks Dennis,

Was there anything special about the original paint to help in the illumination of the gages, or just color?

I was able to reproduce the faded green on my computer and print it out on black background surround for my aux switches.

If you can find a paint shop than can reproduce color from a sample (even LOWES), you could do the same, or I can send a word file done in the color I used.

This is what I use on C1 gauges. It may be the same for the C2 parts. I'll have to check one that I have open.

I'll get a better better photo of the paint cans/colors in the AM.

Not too long ago I was beginning the refurbishment of the cluster from my '64 and I had the same question as yourself. I did some searching and found where someone was using Krylon Pistachio green available right off the shelf at Hobby Lobby. I don't think it's a perfect match but it was close enough for me. As a matter of fact last night I was using the same paint on the inside of my clock housing.
