71 B-body dash bezel

Are these bezels suppose to be 1-color or are they more of a fade shade of multiple tones of brown color?

Lol not easily. I touched up my dash bezel and completely resprayed the dash insert and I think it's a dead match in color. It's been so long ago I can't remember if I sprayed the black first or the brown. I then did the opposite color with a brush. Originally on my dash and a couple others I have I swear I can see brush lines but I'm told that's not correct. So I truly don't know how the manufacture did it but that's how I did it. The color was a few combinations of colors till the brown matched.

All the ones I’ve redone I’ve sprayed it all black first and then go over it in brown

Do you spray the brown or have you seen evidence the original brown was bushed on ?

Love to know specific brands and colors.
I need to redo a passenger side panel.
"Should" be easier, right?

I used Tamiya red brown on my dash inserts and gauges cluster. I thought it worked out well.
