what i tend to do is paint the whole panel white and leave it to dry. then go over the whole panel in dark grey or black and leave it about 10 or 15 minutes to just start going off. then with a cotton bud gently burnish the panel. What should happen is the dark paint wil be rubbed off the raised detail and edges giving a worn look and really nice looking dials. then the drops of gloss for glass and hey presto, a decent looking dash.
Also is anyone else as anal as me about finding the right colours and positions for the various lights on the instrument panels? or does everyone else have a life? lol
