Help needed! I have sorted out the parts for assembling the dash and need your opinion on what to do about the trim on the dash. The original trim was never chromed, but painted brown. I do not have enough of the original trim yo complete the dash but I do have plenty of chrome pieces to do a complete dash. Do I paint enough of the chromed pieces to complete the dash or do I do the dash with all chrome trim? Remember this is not meant to be a full quality restoration, but a correct preservation for the next caretaker. If I paint the chromed pieces to complete the dash then I will not be able to document that the original trim was supposed to be painted. What does everyone think? Thanks for your input.
