MG TD TF 1500 - TF Glove Box Color?

I understand the inside of the glove boxes should be the same color of the dash and the rest of the interior but what about the underside of the box? Should they be black like the under dash shield or dash color? Thanks!
L Staller

Same color as the dash, not the instrument cluster, what the boxes bolt to. PJ

Paul, once again thank you for your advice. I'll paint them the color of the dash.

My unrestored dash.

Matthew, the photo of your unrestored dash shows the bottom of the glove box being painted red and the upper portion which is a cardboard unpainted. How do you think the glove boxes were assembled at the factory? Was the inside surface of the cardboard piece painted or covered with vinyl like the metal bottom piece? Thanks, Lou
L Staller

I guess the pieces were painted separately before assembly. The inside of the cardboard has matching vinyl.

Lou, I used Matthews for a guide when doing mine. Tops are natural, bottoms painted. I did cover the inside of mine with felt verses vinyl though. PJ

I'm going to look for some vinyl that matches the red I painted the dash to use for the inside of the boxes. If I'm not happy with what's out there I may go with a red felt. It seems that it would look a lot better then vinyl, but how about durability and cleaning?
