Question before I paint?

Just received my Autometer Z-series gauges and under dash pod. The paint I bought was the medium parchment, M4JZ-19M547-1077-H. The interior has the 2 different tan colors, on dark and one light. The light colored is what I want to match, but looking at the color of the can top it looks more like the dark color. Can anyone confirm I have the right color?

Re: Question before I paint?

I believe you have the right color. Medium parchment is what I used and it matches perfectly. (have you hit the pod with primer first? Makes a huge difference if you use a plastic primer) If in doubt find a piece of black plastic scrap plastic and try it out.

Just my .02

Regards,
Dave

Re: Question before I paint?

I used some "ford" plastic primer. The guy at the parts counter just sprayed it for me . . .didn't even make me buy any.

Have a good one,
Dave
