How do you repaint the stock gauges in ours trucks white/another color and put the lines back on it? Masking tape and a razor blade? very fine paintbrush?

There was someone on this board who was doing it.He had the lines and letters/numbers printed or cut.He painted the gages what ever color you wanted and put the lines and the style letters and numbers you wanted.There was an auction on e-bay for this service last week.

http://durangedesign.dynip.com/index.htm sells kits. I have heard good & bad things about the kit. I have also heard there are several people who made (or said they were going to make) their own white faces on their computer.

I used Duranged Design and I will say the product is great!!! They are very helpful!! He made me custom decals for my dash that look just like the originals (black with white lines). My dash looks great now. Just like original. I wanted the original look since my dash is woodgrain. Once again great guys. As a matter of fact, my order got lost in the mail, and they sent me new ones without a hint of a problem!!!! I would highly recommend them. Cheaper than buying new gauges if they work, but just look crappy.
