My old original ashtray looks a bit tatty but I am in two minds do whether to paint it or just leave it old school. Thoughts.

Leave it original otherwise it would look odd without painting the whole dash fascia

Patina is cool, its what seperates the trailer queens from the born to be driven.

Buy one the SS replica ones off ebag and fit it to another ashtray so you have the best of both worlds :-)

Yep. The way I was leaning. She stays as is. Patina is good.

Or buy the whole dash facia assembly off ebag for about $500 and fit it up keeping the original one as it and tuck it away.
