Gauge Cluster Restoration

[pjmoreland]

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

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

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.

Thank you. The white gauges are definitely an issue of personal preference.

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.

Yep. They also have black decals.

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

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