Hi all,

My console lid use to have a silver line going around the lid, but with age this has nearly completly come off...

Has anyone tried touching this up with one of those silver paint pens or should I just mask the area and use a fine brush and a small pot of hobby model silver paint?

Thanks..

With regards to the chrome trim on the door panels, I agree, don't use paint or anything except that film.

I've not had the need of it, since I cheated and bought a pair of NOS panels. But the heavy duty trim tape for boats sounds like it would work better than Bare Metal.

Since the original post dealt with the trim on the Fuse Panel Cover, which has a thin line around the area for the warning lights, that's what I responded to.

Look in the gallery and you'll see my center console. Most of that was initially done with Bare Metal Foil and it looked excellent.

However, in just a few weeks, I had already had a couple "oops" items show up. Just from simple activities, that's why I investigated the other stuff.

FWIW

No probs, just getting a little carried away ;>

Looking at your centre console pic, geez I didnt realise that there was that much "silver" trim in this area.

Well as 24OZ's picture shows, there actually was a fair amount of silver trim on the original consoles and dashes. Sadly, it rarely survived more than a few very light wipings with any kind of dash cleaner.

I researched just about every picture I could find showing consoles and dashes to determine what "should" have been trimmed. I had a few doubts, but decided to use logic to "fill in the lines" where I felt the details of the car called for the trim.

I welcome any comments, and would love it if someone has pictures that confirm / deny what I've done.
