rcreweread Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Making slow but steady progress on the restoration of my 4A and am stripping the front bulkhead etc. Does anybody know why ST chose to paint the metal underdash a horrible brown colour, and what is the actual colour? I'm sure I've read on here somewhere in the past a poster saying paint it in white as it makes working/visibility under the dash a lot easier ? As always, any thoughts much appreciated Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi Rich, paint the forward face white to improve lighting under there. Keep the rear face (against the wood) dark. A white finish will stand out if there are any tiny gaps between the wooden and metal dash. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Roger Thanks - obvious really about the backward face under the wooden dash - as for the other side ( forward face) maybe I shoulsd consider some luminescent paint!! Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know the actual colour/code for the brown finish? ( Stuart ??) Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
