I have sprayed the console that was black and the ashtray, shift surround and heating panel that were all originally MB 263 Mahogany. I am using WU 263 Tobacco that is quite close but does not have the reddish tint. I have two coats on the console, but it is still darker than the other parts. I will probably give it one more coat.

I will have to decide whether or not to also do the under dash panels, glove box etc. I don't really want to take those panels off if I don't have to. Seems any plastic part I mess with develops a crack! What do y'all think about doing those panels in place?

The dash itself is a different color and is original - It must have been part of the 2-tone interior scheme because it matches the door inserts. I have a crack in the dash, but the rest is good, so I may to try and fill the crack with some marine mahogany sealant/adhesive. Later a dash cap, I guess.
