Paint Paint Paint
I am doing my instrument panel myself on a 66, except the rechroming.
The paint that is inside around the gauges has 2 different colors of "Green" from what i can tell, "because im color blind", a pail and a dark...i bet that helps alot
Also what color is used on the face itself?
Does anyone sell these colors?

Just messing with you. I'm not color blind, but I just paint everything black.

The light green in the cluster is available in a spray can from Krylon. Not home so I can't tell you the exact color. I can get back to you later or maybe Jason will check in here.
For the outside, I used Krylon semi-flat black,then covered that with their satin clear. Not 100% correct, but I like it. SEM also makes a semi-flat black that people here have recommended.

It's called Catalina Mist, #3529. It's in their satin series so it isn't a high gloss paint. I covered it with clear coat to make it more reflective. I figure the instrument panel bulbs need all the help they can get. I haven't got the car back together to try it yet, so I can't say for sure. I hope it didn't overdo it. Can't help you with the dark green. Mine was in decent shape so I worked around it.
