1968 instrument cluster housing paint

(1/1)

OldMil:
Hi All,  I'm restoring the my 1968 dash cluster and have stripped the metal housing.  Looking for suggestions on a good matching paint for the back silver-gray side and the inside flat white side.  Thanks for your help....Jack

ruppstang:
You could metal finish the out side and coat it with clear. Any flat white would work for the inside. I use a lot of Rust Oleum  products

J_Speegle:
Shooting the insides with a gloss white will improve the brightness of the lights one assembled - just a thought. Difference might not even be noticeable

ruppstang:
LED lights are a big improvement too if you are not concern about authenticity. A better original housing might be another option, they are not hard to find.

CharlesTurner:
Keep in mind that the dash lights may ground to the housing, so any paint could interfere with that.
