Re: Color patched cluster
what year?
also - what color red did you use? I just picked up a 70 SWB and the interior paint seems to be a copper/burgundy color but the seat (aftermarket bench) is more red along with the gear shift and steering wheel. I like that color you have  Is it factory? Thinking on which way I wanna go - more true red color or the paint color of the inside

Re: Color patched cluster
I painted the inside tin as well. I think it adds to the dash a bit.

Re: Color matched cluster
This is funny,I was expecting to see bezels matching the paint color,kind of like GMC,only those match the upholstery. My '67 will possibly be done red to match the interior paint/upholstery color...unless I go with my other little secret

Re: Color matched cluster
These are examples of the GMC color matched bezels. They were color keyed to the interior trim color.

Re: Color matched cluster
The ones of you that color matched the front bezal. What did you do to keep the gauge area clean? Tape it up good? I may try this and see how it looks on mine just wondering.
