I've had success with the interior vinyl dyes from VHT. I get mine from the restoration joints like National Parts Depot or Year One. I've never shot a gauge pod with it but I have used it to change colors in my buddies Mustang, my Camaro and a pair of golf shoes. Stuff works great!

I use VHT for my gauge installs. Nice paint, goes one easy, no worries abut running. Pretty much fool proof. I think the PN for your color is 978 (Ford Tan).

Where 2 Buy ?

If you Google interior car paint or plastic paint, spray paint and other items you should have some luck ,
Other than getting the color as close as you can, as long as you use a Primer 1st and a good quality Brand Plastic Paint, or Vinyl Paint 2nd it will work, it's just paint, and aside from a little wrench'in, you can re-paint w/ VHL when you find it , assuming it's a better color match.
I REALLY BELIEVE THE PRIMER IS THE kEY TO ADHESION, PLASTIC or VINYL PAINT IS EXTRA PROTECTION TOWARDS A JOB WELL DONE.
