26th-Z Member October 14, 200420 yr comment_7276 Share this post All the raised surfaces should be painted in chrome gloss silver. Clean the plate with soap and a tooth brush. Wipe the surface to be painted with 0000 steel wool. "Print" the raised edges on a flat metal block or a piece of glass with paint on it. Try to get the paint on the flat surface to be uniform and flat as well. Spray paint works best. Be careful with solvents on the black plastic. After you are finished, soak some quality vinyl dressing on the face.

Zak's Z Member October 14, 200420 yr comment_7290 Share this post Thanks, 26TH Z. I take it then that all raised edges in the interior (around the defroster switch, around the outside of the console, etc) are painted silver then for consistency? I'm only asking because all mine are faded, I can tell it WAS once painted, but most of it is faded off.
