Mine was brown. I media-blasted and repainted it with brown rustoleum that matched well. I figure you can't really see it, so I was more concerned about longevity / function than appearance.
I believe the dashes are unpainted (my TR3 is, as was my TR3B many years ago). I know some who've painted the backs white in order to reflect the ambient light and make it easier to see when poking around back there.
You're welcome. I'm getting ready to redo my dash with new vinyl and I will clean it up, but leave it "natural," to ensure the contact cement adheres. (Which is why I don't think they were painted in the first place.) I may do the backside white.
Addendum: The TR3's center gauge panel was definitely unpainted, and were often marked in pencil by the factory with a date and or commission number. I definitely wouldn't destroy that with paint!
Thanks again Keith, I’ll follow that advice regarding the center gauges when I get to them.
My car is in the body shop for some damage to the front apron from a 1967 Chevy Nova that backed into me at a local car show last year. Since I now have room in my small garage (and the time due to Covid restrictions), I’m cleaning, painting, categorizing and storing many extra parts purchased with the car.
A bit of advice to any newbies out there when waiting on line to enter any event—-Do not park close to the curb where your LBC cannot be seen. Park where they can be seen away from the curb and a keep a few extra feet in front of you.
