I am getting a new panel installed in my Navion and need to select a paint color. We originally picked Beechcraft Tan but most of the Beechcraft panels I see are a cream or ivory color and I prefer something thats a little darker tan than also that goes with my gold/ light brownish interior. I don’t want black or gray either. If you have a tan colored panel please post some pics. Here are a pic if the new panel and my interior colors.

We just renovated our S-35 panel and used a brownish gray. It came out fantastic. We have a cream leather interior.

This is the color we decided to use. I believe it’s the camel tan that Beechcraft uses.

Could do real carbon fiber or hydrodip it in literally whatever you want. Midwest Aircraft Refinishing makes CNC carbon fiber panels with nice white labeling for Cirri… idk why they wouldn’t be able to make one for a Navion.
 
My Navion’s panel is pretty much done now. Just needs some tweaking and full checkout by the shop and then flight testing.

I believe it’s camel tan or Beechcraft Tan as my avionics shop told me.

Hi John, what the name/code of your panel color? Getting ready to do my panel on a PA32rt.Thanks.
 
Here is the finished new panel. Not cheap bit the plane really flies nicely now. Lot’s of new gizmos to learn. Can’t wait to start IFR training.
