Rally Dash, modern interpretation

have any of you renew a rally dash and not re-flash all of that shinny chrome.

The dash in the 68 Barracuda is sound, has never been hacked into, but has most all of the chrome missing, the rest is age worn.

This car will have a day two appearance, I am thinking of renewing the OE gauges, adding an aftermatket tach to the center pod, and re painting what was chrome a modern semi gloss trim black, or other subdued color.
I would do the remaining dash in the color that matches the interior, dark metallic green..

any thoughts, has anyone else done this?
I also wonder if at some point down the road I want to have the dash returned to OE, would the paint applied prevent that?

thanks
