Advice needed..

I'm in the middle of a rear on the truck and a month away from the LS6 going in so I'm pretty much going with a new cluster. Instead of buying one of those cheap plastic ones I decided to make my own panel.

I'm not going to go crazy on the gauges but I would like your thoughts on what color I should use on the panel itself.

I think the interior is a goldish brown , which is faded and the outside is an Alpine green. What do you guys think I should do?

Thanks

I actually am doing the same thing you are with my truck only my interior is light blue and gloss black and all that I am going to do is make an overlay of the gauges with some aluminum diamond plate

I'm dealing with sorta the same thing myself, I have a billit insert but don't want to leave it polished. I have considered painting it the same color as the interior, light fawn, with a dark bezel to kind of match the glove box which has the dark trim at the bottom with the Chevrolet lettering on it. Keep us posted on what you do.

I think a charcoal grey would look nice on that. Actually I even like the look of the bare metal. You could just use a satin clear coat on it. Or how about heating the plate to get a tempered bluing effect and then clear?

I kind of dig it bare or a grey finish. i know the glove box door is more of that brown finish so I may lean towards that.

Great ideas. I'll have something by this weekend. I hope to atleast
