Gauge Cluster Restoration
Here's a gauge cluster I restored recently. The gauge faces were rusty, so the owner chose to go with white decals.

Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration
I'm not personally a fan of white gauges, but that turned out fantastic! Looks like top-quality workmanship, excellent.

Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration
I recently did an overhaul of my cluster. The chrome around the bezel was worn off so I did like you and just painted it with satin black, looks decent in my opinion.

Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration
It would look better with the chrome, but painting it black seems like a decent way to clean up the original bezel. I like keeping original parts when possible.

Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration
Yes I was wondering if you had used on other restorations the black decals from them, and how are they?

Re: Gauge Cluster Restoration
I haven't used the black ones yet. They look nice in this photo that I believe 70shortfleet posted.
