Studying the most recent pictures last night, I realized how out of balance the dash was now, with the chrome GMC emblem on the glovebox door. So this morning I pulled it again and this time spent the better part of two hours masking it off, and sprayed it with Testors 1837M Revving Red lacquer. This time it turned out perfect with nice straight edges:



To me the dash now seems in balance from a color perspective.
Mark, understanding that the red wheel jumps out in the photos, I presume it is... less obtrusive in person, but for me, in this picture, it is a perfect accent with all of the other subtle red bits (switches, gauges), and with the addition of the red inset in the GMC emblem (), okay, short answer... You can't argue with hooters!
