RE: [Chrysler300] Gold paint for 57 dash instruments and knobs

["George McKovich" <george@xxxx>]

Mark....
If it is the same as that used on the parking brake and other knobs on the
Chrysler 300C & D, then it is what I recommended to the club about two years
ago. It is transparent stain used in the making of stained glass lamps etc
by craftmakers and hobbyists. I purchased mine at Michael's which is an
craft supply place here in the west. If you can't find it where you live,
let me know and I will get some for you. Here is a link to some pictures:

Good luck,

Subject: [Chrysler300] Gold paint for 57 dash instruments and knobs


I am trying to clean up the instrument pods on my '57. In the center of the

speedometer and other guages is a "cup" that was painted with some sort of a

gold colored translucent lacquer. Mine is very faded, but I assume it was
to 
match the gold lacquered knobs on the parking brake handle, light knobs,
etc.

Is there something one can use to get that look, or reasonably close to it?

Thanks
