The previous post about Jim Osborne Restorations should answer this.

The hood latch should be natural metal color. Inner fenders, hinges, fire
wall, under hood, core support should be body color. Power brake vacuum
tank is gloss black.

Air cleaner is gloss black. A good quality gloss black spray can should be
just fine.

I'd repair as best as I can. Then after your done with everything, if the
dash still haunts you AND you still have $500 left over, add the repro dash
like "Icing on the cake."

>Oh, almost forgot - what is the best way of reproducing an original trunk mat?
Trunk mats are extremely difficult to find and are not reproduced to my
knowledge. You may consider installing a "deluxe" trunk dress-up kit. This
would be grey loop carpet and grey cardboard inserts. Both are reproduced
by Gary Goers in Kalispell, Montana. His contact info is on the
Imperialclub.com web site.
