Bob,

Try www.Anobrite.com. I assume that you have a 64. I would get both the console and the dash done at the same time so that they match.

I was thinking of the speedo numbers, are they silver paint or metalized film?

Easy way to restore them is got a silver paint pen from an arts& craft store. I repainted my dash first but made sure the numbers where all masked off. That is a very tedious job with masking tape and an exacto knife. Then refinish the numbers with the silver paint pen. Some people don't mask them off when they paint, and end up covering the center of the numbers where the light behind the dash illuminates them at night.

The paint pen trick works great for the speedo numbers, just make sure its primed correctly and use a light touch. I didn't end up having to repaint the black parts, thankfully, because it sure seems that masking off those narrow numbers would really suck. If I had to do it, however, I would look into using a product called airbrush friskit or else some type of liquid mask.
Good luck.

What's an afternoon with masking tape :tung

Actually because it's not all thta difficult and was done in about 2 hours. You really just have to be careful to cover really the center area.
