MG TD TF 1500 - Instrument panel paint

Does anyone know of a Krylon or Rustolem paint that is a close match to the Moss instrument panel paint. I'd rather not pay $30 bucks for a non show car color match.

Thanks

General Motors Holden - "Cognac" Code 2G011 Metallic.

Have a paint shop make up some. Some paint shops will also put it in a rattle can. Have no idea of the cost. Most all good paints today in general are expensive PJ

I like the darker color for the TD

Duplicolor Wheel paint, in "Bronze". Light coats until you get the colour you want. ... CR

Go to your local large parts store and take a look. The ones near me have a huge selection, something should be close. George

CR Thank you!

George, believe it or not I've only seen 3 TDs in person since I've bought mine. Each one had a non original steering wheel/instrument panel paint color. As I'm sure you know, colors on your computer monitor usually differ from the actual color. CR's suggestion at least puts me in the ball park. As I said I'm not looking for show quality but I'd like to be close.

Craig Seabrook bronze/tan on my center panel. I think this is very close to originals I have seen, as well as the Moss paint. George

Your welcome. Posting picture of the dash cluster... I know the gauges are wrong... but the paint was right (for me) and I painted the center of the steering wheel the same.

CR, looks somewhat like Craig's but the lighting makes it difficult to compare. I'm getting a can of Duplicolor bronze to do a test run. What color did you paint your steering wheel?

Painted the steering wheel hub and center the same duplicolor bronze. I painted them at the same time , so they were on the bench at the same time so I could make the colour the same... or close enough.

Picture lighting is bad , but they are the same colour.

Thanks CR. I plan on doing the same. The center hub of my steering wheel was a plain bakelite color. I assume all of the original paint had come off.
