flycut and andozied would look really sharp, altho it might look too much like a 2nd gen transam dash 
. Flycutting might be hard since the panel is already bent... brushing might be easier. Just something to give it a texture--there's a lot of empty boring metal there that a texture would really liven up.
I had a buddy in college do a very similar panel for his Chevelle, and he bead blasted it and painted it flat black. The gauges looked great, but the panel itself was really unimpressive, even though it fit perfectly and every hole & edge had been perfectly milled.

How 'bout some wood grain Mac-Tac?
