Two tone dash pics - Anyone got black top with color face?

I have used the search function and only got one pic of a dash where the top is different to the face.

Hope some of you guys have pics or even your own trucks to share on here.

The interior paint of my truck is all Red.

So I am looking to break it a bit.

Martin changed his from an eye searing yellow to satin black and I really like it.

Hopefully he will post a pic to illustrate.

However, Nicola my wife (and banker) was not taken with all black on the whole dash.

So I am hoping someone has used a two tone approach and can share on here.

This is the only pic I found that shows two tone.



I hope that pasted as I am on iPhone at the moment.

Thanks for any cmments n contributions.

Here's a couple of ideas...I did a House of Kolors Cinnamon Pearl with a blue pinstripe to hide the color break...

Here is the picture of it in black I had to paint it within the first week as otherwise I had to wear sunglasses to drive it

A little before and after. I have painted the chrome around the gauges sense I took the photo.

Didn't see it was for a 64-66, the black would go nicely with the red, maybe paint the glove box insert black to match the speedo and even the 2tone out.
Here's one from another post.

Thanks to MJH1965 for sending me this on.

Now I know where the break line will be.
