I gave up for the night. Got 3 or 4 coats on the test piece and it looks nice. But in the dark, using a flashlight to get enough light, that just isn't accurate. So, the piece is in the truck. I'll do some comparisons tomorrow in the sunlight and get a real feel for it.
Initial thoughts are that it's gonna be extremely close. I noticed under the flashlight that the dash areas seem to be discolored, I would assume oxidized. They have sort of a yellowish tint in comparison to the panels on the front of the console sort of under the dash. So that may pose a problem of sorts, but not much I can do about that. Guess the new piece will just have to age to be a better match.
More to come....
