Anyone know what color or what rattle can to buy for the greenish color on the inside of the instrumetn panel on 72? Thanks!

though not a perfect match - it's darn close. If doing a whole cluster, you'd never know the difference - but if only parts of it, you could see a slight tint difference between the two. It works well though.

That IS close! Repainting the whole thing so that would be good!

Catalina Mist from Krylon is a dead on match.

Noted! Wish I'd found that first!! I didn't see it at wally world, but if they're both krylon, it's gotta be laying around pretty common-like. Is the cataline mist satin?

Catalina mist is satin also. There are 2 different greens used on the tins. The catalina mist i have found to match the inside of the outer tin (the tin the gauges mount to). The inner tin is slightly darker. Is Jade the one you used for the inner tin? It looks like it matches the darker green.

Yes, that's what I used. that tin in the pic is actually from a Pontiac vac gauge that I ended up not needing for the vac install, more of a "test firing" of the green. Good point on the 2 shades.
