Default Paint for dash/mask for painting

I just got my dash rechromed and now I need to paint it (just the plastic). Is there a paint chart for the color and does anyone sell a precut mask so I don't go outside the lines?

Thanks

Default Dash Painting

Terry; I am not aware of any available paint mask for the 64-65 dash. I used good quality green colored auto body tape and paper and masked off the non painted areas of my 65. PITA and takes time but is not impossible. My interior is black/parchment, I then applied adhesion promoter then top coated with SEM black trim paint, my dash came out well. Not sure if your car is a 65 but prior to installing the wood veneer, outline the pods with a sharp felt pen as the fit is not exact and you do not want to see any chrome around the edges once the veneer is down.

Be very carefull if you use masking tape as it will remove the chrome when you unmask.
I was told to use some type of liquid masking but I used low-tack tape and removed it right away.
