What color for my '66 Dart RHD Dash

[1966DartConvertible]

Hi.

Prior to restoration, the dash was silver with chrome surround (faded and looked more like gold in the picture). This was when the interior was "oceans of black".

Now that the interior is mix beige/tan seats and doorcards with a white exterior, I was wondering what color should I paint the dashcover. I cant find a decent place around here that would do chrome on plastics - there was one but he wanted $250 bucks!! I tried silver paint but looked fugly... i.e. not the same as chrome.

Some Valiant VCs in Australia (which has the same Dash as my RHD Dart) had all white dashcover

I was thinkin' either painting the whole thing beige/tan following the theme of the interior, or all white (like the exterior) with some black lining around the perimeter.

Hmm... decisions... decisions...

Thanks mate! Show me some pictures of your '66 Dart

I agree with you cutting the dash is a n0-no ... btw I always thought its illegal to register a car in Aust as LHD? I mean all American cars in Australia that i've seen are all either professionally converted or factory RHD. I guess im wrong...

Not meaning to jump in on AUSSIE DART, but to answer your question YES, all states in Oz allow LHD registration. Some conditions but it is available ( at long last!).
I have 3 LHD imports and left 'em all left hook.
