1971 Dodge Demon Hemi install

Just finished swapping out the instrument cluster bezel for Jim's car. Also polished all of the lenses & cleaned up the gauges. The chrome was missing & the 'wood' was somewhat deteriorating. The lenses were scratched pretty good, but they cleaned up nice with some 3M plastic cleaner & then 3M plastic polish.

Sorry for the pic quality. The 'new' looks far better than the 'old' in person.

Old:


New:



Does anyone have any suggestions on what to use to repaint the instrument "wood" color. how about prep for it to?
