Thanks, guys, I've been leaning toward the silver myself since the column is more in line with the upper part of the dash. Masking the column is the next time consuming activity. I don't really want to disassemble it, so I use tweezers and skinny screwdrivers to tape up the holes. I had it all masked for primer, but I knew it would be awhile before I got around to painting it, so I pulled all the tape.

Kathy and I got married on Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you) 52 years ago, so we celebrated by getting curbside delivery at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Came home and poured a couple of margaritas and fed our faces. Celebrations are a lot more low key at our age.

I did find the time today to install the Dakota Digital gauges in the dash pod. Also got the USB charger in the ashtray. Pics below.
