Gauges and glove box door pic's and question
Just finished restoring my gauges and glove box door for my 67 GMC. Thought i would share some pictures. The can said satin black but the black paint came out fairly glossy. does anyone else have a shinny finish around there gauges and is it bothersome when you get a glare off of it when your driving?

Those turned out nice. Exactly the same gauge set-up i have for mine. (better go see if mine is still here!)

Re: Gauges and glove box door pic's and question
I thought I was so damn clever and original when I asked my painter to do matching gauges and glove box door like that. You beat me to it.

Re: Gauges and glove box door pic's and question
I'm thinking of doing my 64 gauge bezel, glove box door and the heater panel in a hydro printing make it look like burl wood.
 no of any other forum guys that have done that at all?

Re: Gauges and glove box door pic's and question
If you spray satin too wet, it WILL come out a little on the glossy side. If it has too much glare, try another light coat.
