Autometer Bezel Paint
- Thread starter Black99Stage2
- Start date
It's called Midnight Black, Ford Part # M4JZ-19M547-1074H
(from a previous thread)
(from a previous thread)
Can i order it online?...if so...whats the website
Maybe from fordpartsonline but you will likely pay hazmat charges on it as well, I would just call a local dealer.
On a side note, is there a color code we can get off our door sticker to make sure the PN above is the right color?
I was the one who posted the color in the previous thread and Ford only has 3 interior paint colors available. I have purchased all of them and the Midnight Black is the color. I unfortunately do not have my pods installed yet, but when I painted them the color looks to be identicle to the interior.
You can get it at your local Ford dealer. It is about $13 a can. Just tell them you need interior paint and give them that part number....should be no problem. My dealer got it in within a few days.

BDC_CBRA02,
Thanks for originally posting the number, I wrote it down and was lucky enough to find it and repost it. Stuff like that really helps when the dealer parts guy is having a hard time finding what you need.

No problem, I just did not want anyone else to have to buy all three colors trying to find the right one. You can't return them so that is why I bought all three colors. Plus, the dealer can't help you out at all...or at least mine couldn't with the color. They couldn't tell me if it was dark grey, black or what. Oh well....I have it now plus all the other interior colors...so if I need to paint anything...no problem! 
So the cluster bezel...Which is the plastic piece above ur steering wheel and around your gauges...is painted midnight black?..the vinyl part on top of dash looks black...the plastic pieces look like dark charcoal...
No, I painted both my pillar pod and the bezel Midnight Black. I think you are confusing the name of the color. It is actually dark grey which matches the pillars, dash, console etc.
Any need for prep work on the pod? Id imagine if any sanding was done, it would lose the look of the "grain" on the Autometer pillar?
Nope. I just applied about 4 thin coats. It drys so quickly you could easily have it done in about an hour or so. I just wiped them down with rubbing alcohol then let them dry, then painted them.
I used the paint from this thread.

The cap of the can matched perfect, the paint sample onn the SEM sheet that came with the paint matched perfect, the paint didn't. Just a touch light with a little bit more shine. Doesn't look bad, but it is not perfect. I wish I had tried the ford paint.
