Old-style enhancement...opinions needed

I think I would do just the center groove red. More of a thin red line look.

Yeah, as I was driving today I was thinking the same thing. Maybe just a thinner stripe in the middle groove would be sufficient.

I thing the red stripe would look good because I have a solid gray dash. As others have said it wouldn't look good with a wood-grained or brown color one. I'm still deciding, buy definitely feel that the strips are too wide, and those were the thinest I could find.

I think the stripe width is OK but delete the top and bottom ones and just leave the middle. I don't think you will find the red stripe too wide then.

...and the deluxe heater with red accents, I think it works very well. I'm also impressed by your dash knobs. You don't see too many in that great of shape. Did you buy a reproduction set?

Take it off the heater. Just the dash adds a perfect touch. Heater box makes it to busy.

...that is the original paint design on the heater. I like it, but agree with others that the red on the dash might look a little better if it were thinner. Cool as is though.

I think it looks great, and if you do the vertical stripes up top it will look good also. You can even do the center cap on your steering wheel and outer horn ring.It makes the car stand out from the others.I have used red paint on some of my trim,looking at yours makes me want to do more.

Yeah, the top knobs are repros that a member on here was popping out a while back. The ones under the speaker are original.

Take off the heater?!!! In the middle of winter? No thanks...it's the best damn heater I've ever had. It keeps me toasty warm when driving it in the cold. Like David said...that is the original color of the trim paint. The only thing is that I repainted the heater box with gray hammered finish instead of the brown.

Thanks. I'm going to have to play around with it a bit to see what sits right. That's why I like reading everyone's opinions. It helps guide me.

A bit too much red for my taste...maybe one stripe would be just right. Nice touch, though. Must have been a chore to get those red stripes placed just right:)

[moparalltheway]

O.K. Sorry about the heater I didn't know. This stuffs new to me. I do like the red strips though. Add no more. That is just the right touch.

I like it.

Kinda weird, 'cause I just finished adding some red pin stripes on dash of the DeSoto. I painted, and was easy. I used model car paint, and brush. I just painted the insert and immediately went back over with a dry, plain cloth and the red outside the groves wiped right off.
