Correct Color for Instrument Cluster Indicators - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good Afternoon,

I was looking at past threads for instrument cluster rebuild examples and hints. Found several good ones - as always.

However, I could not find the color quoted in the Speed Warning dash rebuild in the FAQ Tech forum. Listed as Plastikote orange glow or Duplicolor orange glow.

When I went to either site - the name has probably changed - I did not find it.

Would either Plastikote Caution Orange (FL-9) work or is more of a red - such as Stop Light Red (FL-6)

Can you get that in a spray?

Or perhaps it can be mixed and used through a Preval unit.

Thanks for the reply.

Frank

I use the fluorescent yellow-orange striping paint.
