I think (Jon the gage guy can verify) the coating on the gages of a 67.5 is
black oxide. It gives it a shiny black translucent appearance. If you door
handles and console pieces are black oxide, then it could possibly be a
factory experiment. A SEROCer has a early '66 with black gages - second owner
and first never had the gages out of the car.
If the parts are black oxide and not paint, someone went to a lot of trouble
or it is a possible factory experiment. Personally I would keep it that way -
at least until you find the real answer then the true will set you free:)

Subject: [Roadsters] Interior paint question
My 67.5 2000 has a black ashtray sliding cover and surround as well as black
door pulls - the "pull to open" handle, not the lower door pull. The paint
appears to be an exact match to the other interior paint, which appears to
be stock. If this was done aftermarket, it was done extremely well as they
match the gauge trim perfectly. It actually looks pretty good too. Stock is
a brushed silver color. I was wondering if this could be a one off attempt
at further reducing bright reflections.
This was probably done by a prior owner. Has anyone ever seen this before?
If yes, do you recall the circumstances?
Thanks,
Greg
