touch up paint/for74 bezel and console
I was wondering if there is anyone knows, where I can get the close to matching (black) paint that's for little touch up marks on the bezel and console plate , or even a flat black marker would be close...Thanks for any help or response😊

The krylon 1613 (industrial suppliers) if you can get it, I'm happy with the john-deere blitz black, easily available up here but a little pricey, good paint though.
Anyway, for little touch-ups, I'll hold it close and spray some into the bottom of an empty pop-can (turn it upside down there is a concave recess on the bottoms) and when I get a little puddle there I'll use a small artist brush and dip it in.
Works well and I usually have a spray can around anyway.

If it has the original paint, then it is 40+ year old semi-flat black and your guess as to what will match it is as good as anyone's. If it has been re-painted, use the same paint to touch it up. If you have a matching spray paint, just shoot a bit into the cap and use a small artist's brush to do touch-ups with it.
Any 'after-the-fact' paint touch-ups on the bezel will result in paint 'overlap' and will be noticible when looking at it closely. For a smooth, clean finish, you will need to remove it, strip it compeletly, and repaint it. But, for a driver car, touch-ups are fine.

Hi 7T1,
If I had 10 cents for every time I've sprayed some paint in the can's cap and used a brush for touch-up I'd be able to buy us both a good lunch today!!!!

If you wait a minute or two the paint begins to 'thicken-up' a bit and fills the nick better.
