I personally like the chrome accents, but you've done such a nice job, i think i'd leave them as is. 
Chrome paint marker… not as good but on that small of a piece easy to touch up.
If I do it, I'll be airbrushing it, then a clear over it for durability. I may do one of the heater bezels and then decide which one I want to use.
I've gotta' say, I'm usually a purist, but I do like the look of that combo
Same here, as far as being a purist...but every time I mess with these things I get worried I'm gonna drop or break one...lolI've gotta' say, I'm usually a purist, but I do like the look of that combo
In fact, I'm finishing another instrument panel and stepped on the corner last night and broke off 2 pieces.. I'm bad luck with these...lol..!
LOL.......You can't make this **** up!
Looking forward to seeing your car. From what I've read from your posts, you're moving right along. Keep up the good work
Love the detail on the heater control panel, but not sure about the all black personally.

Your car, nicely done so far! 65'
What material are you making these pieces out of?
Uv resin
Or
Filament

You would think they would make a chrome film that could be applied like gold leaf but with a heat gun.
Was not the chrome originally applied with a hot stamp process?

Plastic modelers use this stuff: Bare-Metal Foil, Silicone Mold Rubber, Polyurethane Mold Rubber, Casting Resin
I bet a careful application would look good on these parts. It tends to be super thin and when burnished down with a qtip it will even show the texture of the substrate through it.

I like it, it looks more modern. I never understood the use of wood-grain on everything.
If you did not grow up in the 70’s you would not understand lol! .
Wood paneling was everywhere- doctors offices, living rooms, restaurants, automotive garages, station wagons, it was the lap of luxury. Kind of a status symbol actually. So why not put it in car interiors. And it worked- cars sold!

I like the black. I went the carbon fiber overlay route from DMT on mine.

Another vote for liking the chrome trim.
Very nice.. I too have the carbon overlay from DMT.. Just haven't decided which way I'll go...lol Hell, I may end up going back to the completely factory look..
I'm not a purist.
My junk is not factory.
But i dig a factory interior.

I agree, I feel the woodgrain on the 70 something and newer A bodies made them look cheap. Even the same on the B and E bodies.
