Want to respray the glovebox and drivers side panel of the dashboard.
Just wondering if anyone else has done it and what colour I can get that will be a close match to the original colour.

The difficulty will be in masking off everything else - so the paint doesn't go where it's not wanted!

Easy enough, you just un bolt the glove box lid and inst. panel cover and hang them on a piece of wire. The difficult bit is painting the switch panel. The steering column and parcel shelf bar are also the same colour.

It's a 54 so I presume he means the gold dash panels (removable).
Steering column comes off fairly easily too.

The clue was in the photo of the early grill

Yes the panels are removable.
What I really need is someones opinion on what is the closest colour I can pick up in somewhere like Halfords.
