Hi Francis,

Both my Dash and shift cover were just plain old black paint, no
texture.

Here is a question to add though.  I just found an original radio
console out of a 67 midget.  It is painted the same color of the
car(brown) , were they all this way or can they match the rest of the
interior and be black as well?
