What color should I paint the dashboard?

[NickG]

Hello everyone I am new to this. Me and my grandfather have been restoring a 1969 Ford Bronco Sport and we have a question. We are trying to decide if we should paint the dashboard. We were thinking either the same color as the body which is going to be blue, or paint the dashboard the same color as the seats which is going to be parchment. Please send any tips and/or any suggestions. Thanks!

Low gloss Parchment.

Low gloss Parchment.

Ok thank you so much!

Whatever color that you go with, the Low Gloss part is crucial. Nothing worse than a glossy dash that reflects light into your eyes or onto the windshield.

I'm partial to the creamy whites for dashes myself, so Parchment sounds good to me, too.

Thank you so much. That helps a lot!

Kind of what they said.
Most were that color, but some did leave the factory with different body colors and such. I like them too, and wouldn’t hesitate to do either one that I wanted on a particular Bronco.
Meaning that ultimately the decision is up to you. Nothing wrong with either way, but white/parchment will probably get the most votes.

Mine is the same as the body color, only because it was a factory ranger model.

Mine is a mutt so I did my own thing.
Silver grille center, silver top, silver door panels and silver dash.
It's yours, do what you want.

I painted mine gray to match my interior. This is the first time the dash has been any other than white.

I did mine in Wimbledon white but if i had the chance to do it over I think I would have done it body color. Either way just prep it real good and it will turn out nice.

Actually, I think with your choice of body color, White was by far the best option for the dash!
I love body color dashes too, but given the choice of all green or driving around in a mint cream sickle, I choose the mint Creamsicle every time!

Find out if it came black or parchment oem and do that.
