Copes 71 Dart Swinger Rattle can resto. (Lots of picks not for dial up)

I ordered the water out let ( thermostat housing) it should be here tomorrow . I'm also grabbing a 160 thermostat.

On to the real question. To paint or polish?
I finished roughing out the dash panels and I'm in need of input on the finish. What do you think, Polish them or paint them to match the dash paint. ( dash paint still needs finish sanding and a few more coats.) I was thinking that all black might hide some of the miss cuts. (I formed it all with a hammer and cut the holes with my dewalt.)

No matter what i got to remove them to do some finish work and the dash needs sanding and paint so.....????

The glove box is held closed with rare earth magnets, very light and strong. The door on the glove box is not aligned or finished in these picks.

Thanks for the help and advice.
