1967 Dodge Charger Paint on Console

[Charger Too]

What kind of paint can be used on the brushed aluminum by the gear shift? Or is best to leave it alone? However, mine looks bad even after hours of cleaning. Thanks!

Replace the plate with a better quality one. Or new?

How bad is yours? Picture?

I will send you a photo of mine tomorrow night. Who sells new ones? Classic Industries is not the correct one for my 1967 Dodge Charger. I have the black trim painted. Is there a paint available for the brushed aluminum? Thanks!

Try Krylon Dull Aluminum.

Great, looking forward to seeing what you got. As for the paint, you could try that Krylon Dull Aluminum, me I would just switch it out. There are replacements and nice originals available. I think I have 2 or 3.

Doesn't look bad from what I'm seeing! Nothing wrong with a slight original patina

Nothing wrong with that plate from what I can see. My original one that came with my car looked about the same as yours. A little more "aged" than yours and but happy with it. I am replacing it with another in about the same condition since I am adding a clock and did not want to cutup my original one. The replacement one has already been cut for a clock. I assume you also have a clock too?

Here is my console... I simply recovered the original with a thin self adhesive vinyl film. Available in numerous styles and colors, and can be purchased in sheets or rolls.
I did the same with the aluminum inserts on the door panels etc to match.

Source of that film? Just in case someone else is interested.

I ordered a few different Gold textures from Amazon before deciding on any particular one. In the end I believe I went with this one, but as I said there are numerous styles, colors, and finishes available. I believe I may have toned or clear coated over the top of it as well, possibly both, but I don't recall at the moment.

I did mine in the brushed gold to match the new colors of my Chargers interior (Pearl White) and the Chassis (Performance White & Gold)
Hoping to get it back together and on the road again this year. I got rained out last year.
