I think I seen a thread in the restoration tips area. I can't remember what they used to repaint the black with though. I think you probably want to polish the shiney areas prior to re doing the black, I think you could then tape off those areas, I would use large masking tape, then cut them out with an exacto knife. I think in the thread, they had the decal for the dash and cut out the lettered areas and installed them over there respective areas on the dash panel.

I have done an instrument panel on a chevy truck, however, I wanted paint in the recessed lettering on it, so I painted the hole thing satin black, then carefully, very carefully, took a micro fiber towel just damp with laquer thinner and wiped the paint off of those areas, leaving paint in the recessed letters.

I think it would be about the same as the cub dash panel, but I have never attempted to do so. Just tossing out some ideas!
