tuff QUESTION-
how do you think the factory did the finish on the metal
center panel on the dash. the one with lights written on it
i scratched a hundreds of a inch where it meets the steering column
and it looks like paint yet it has a super cool brush stroke finish
anyone done this
thanks

brush pattern as if painted with a brush -anodizing finish is flat

Alan,

are you speaking of the strip on the grab rail? its 2 piece on a pre '74 and a 1 piece on a 74+. (long skinny strip that gets thinner around the steering column).

if so, i do believe that is an anodized piece - just like the pieces on the console shift surround (that the window switches are in). perhaps yours was touched up or refinished.
 
Could be brushed and then clear anodized. Or brushed w. clear coat or simply brushed without any finish on top?

well stated and noticed...
