Center console wood insert bracket color
What color should the plastic trim on this piece be? It appears the outer rectangle was silver/ grey at some point.... Worn off now. The inner housing for shifter and PRNDLS lens? Can't really tell if had the same silver accents or not. Also pros cons on the wood grain insert for this. Metal backing or plain material? Thanks

The original woodgrain applique was metal-backed. Repros are available.

Krylon Metallic Spray paint
fwiw - I used Krylon on the center consol and gauge bezel and was happy with it. Mine looked similiar to yours and now it's much better. Not show quality but much cheaper for my driver.

chrome paint
Guys:
Try the hobby shops for the chrome paint designed for RC and Slot Car bodies, just use it in reverse of what it says, black base coat then the chrome finish. It looks much better than any of the Krylon or other spray bomb based paints. It is somewhat expensive, but compared to what many of us have already spent, the cost is nothing. You will be amazed at the finish it gives, it ranks up there w/ the vacum based chrome finish people use.
Thanks Ron

There is a way to paint like chrome (you can not see that it is not real chrome). I did not understand how this works, but it looks really great and is not more expensive then usual painting:
Unfortunately I don't know where to get this in the US. The german vendor is advertising with "Unique technique from the USA" - so somewhere it should be done over there.

Not sure of the brand, I don't have a set handy, but you can try Tom Thumb Hobbies @ 614 274 5150, ask for Mike. They have been around since the 60's and carry a couple of brands.
Thanks Ron
