Default Paints for Cluster

Are there specific paints available for the cluster on a 65? I assume the black paint I used on the center console would be the same for the cluster, but I cannot remember for the life of me what it is.

Also, is it easier to replace the faces, or can you actually fix the fading? What about the needles, and other parts?

I prefer SEM #39143 Black - it's more durable than Krylon #1613. Jason Oliver or one of the other rebuilders can deal with the gauge faces and needles.

Thanks John.. I was looking for the SEM#. I could have sworn someone has posted paint #'s for the other items, but cannot for the life of me find it.
