Touch-up paint

[p51]

I need to touch-up some scratches on the chrome-colored part of the plastic on my instrument bezel. Does anyone know what color and type of paint I should use?

Thanks

James

personally I would have it rechromed.

Isn't that mylar covering the plastic? Can you rechrome plastic? Or do you mean re-mylar it? (Is there such a thing?)

I used to own a 66 (Mustang) coupe and the mylar peeled off my instrument bezels so I used chrome paint and a small brush and painted it all. It took forever! (That was when I was younger and had more time). It turned out nice but it wasn't as shinny as the original mylar.

Yes it is mylar. I replaced my dash bezel when it got too ugly.

DD - Where did you get your new bezel from? And were you happy with it?
Can you just replace the bezel frames? (Still learning.)

You can get a bezel for the complete instrument panel for ~$60 from MustangsPlus...

For example,

In my case I have I just have a couple of small scratches that I want to touch up. Dont really want to spend the $60 and go through the hassle of replacing the whole bezel. So, I'm just looking for what the paint might be for that color touch up paint...

Opps, make that ~$70.

Amy, any Mustang parts house has it as p51 mentioned. I got mine at either Burch Ford in CA. or Larry's T-Bird and Mustangs. Gosh it was a loooong time ago and it still looks very good. The bezel is one piece.
