69 Camaro Interior Detailing Question

I concur with the pencil comments.  However there are many styles.  For the dash detailing, it really depends on the color and material you are detailing, the type of paint, etc.  Take scrap with you if possible.  Pretty much you are going to want to look at oil and wax based color pencils.  For metallics, check out the prismacolors.  The verithins work very nice.  I have a set of guage and dash color verithings for this purpose.  Sharpen them up, and then flatten the very tip to about a flat 1 or 2 mm diameter.  Also try to keep the pencil tip a bit roughed up, it will help transfer color from the pencil to the model.

 I do the same thing with white and orange water-color pencils.  I've found they're softer than color pencils and show brighter.  When I'm done, I'll seal it with a drop of glue or clear coat.  Here's a picture of the dash in my Daytona Charger.

After using the pencil or dry brush technique  you can put a drop of future on the gauges to simulate a lense. If you use the pencil , seal with clear coat prior to applying future.  This has worked well for me, but I'am always open to new ideas on model construction.
