Austin 7 dash colour and finish?

[Hugh Barnes]

When I did mine, it was many years ago, long before the days of Youtube and videos showing you how to do it. I took a simplistic approach with the combs I was able to borrow, but looking at such resources now, I can see some of the many mistakes I made. The contents of the tins do seem still to move so maybe I will have another go. Though, in truth, when I bought my RP, it was very original and the door caps were simply painted a lightish brown, with no actual evidence of scumbling. I do still wonder whether the scumble approach is truly correct for the pre-Ruby models.

I am fairly certain the dash would *not* have been scumbled going on the evidence from my car
