Did GM paint dash clusters to match door panels?

[Jerblazer72]

I have question for all you factory original gurus. I have a 72 gmc super custom that was originally white on the outside and the interior was a shade of dark blue (steering wheel, column, door panels, visors, etc.) The PO had repainted the column, the glove box and some other items. I am going to repaint the column back to the original dark blue to match the wheel and panels, and visors. The PO had also painted the dash gauge bezel a different color. Now for my question, Did GM paint those at the factory or were they all black? I have bought a new reproduction that is black and I don't know if I should paint it blue to match the steering column and the door panels.

So, the real question is "did the factory paint the dash clusters to match the interior or were they all black with chrome rings"?

Thanks for any pics or comments.
