I am restoring the inside of my '67 it is ermine white with a bB (414) interior. the question involves the painting of hte shifter console and the radio screen.
1. shifter console - there is a small groove between the chrome edges of the console and the textured flat interior area. Is this groove painted or does it remain chrome. I tried to find this out in orlando but was not successful. most restorers said not to paint but there were 2 "unrestored" 67s and I couldn't tell for sure due to some dirt in this area.
2. radio screen - I have been told that this is painted with same paint as the brake and shifter console yet on my car and on the cars in orlando the screen seemed darker and a little flatter than the semi-gloss dye on the console and brake.
Any help would be appreciated. would like to paint this only once.
thanks - joe
