Restored my instrument cluster (pics)
Finished up my instrument cluster. I'd like to paint the speedo needle, but the tach needle looks really tough to mask properly (unless I could find a paint that matched so well I could get away with just painting one needle).
The speedo and the systems gauges are original; the printing on my fuel gauge was worn off badly so it's a replacement as well. The bezel is a reproduction that I painted to match the original... 95% masking, 5% painting. - Dave |

Re: Restored my instrument cluster (pics)
looks very nice dave. Are you saying THE original cluster was blue or that someone before you had painted it blue and you liked it so repeated it? Never saw a blue one - I think it looks pretty darn cool?

Same color as the factory bezel (which I've kept), though I think the factory bezel is a little shinier. Close enough though! |
