Anyone have a good way to repaint the black part of the instrument
cluster? I sanded down the chrome areas and painted those with
"chrome" paint and they look good, but the black areas sure look
like a pain to do. Any thoughts or success stories on this?
I have used every thing from spray paint flat black into the cap that comes on the can and thin with laq. thinner on your paint brush (brushes of any size you like) Have 2 beers first if you have shakey hands! LOL
I ahve also invested 6 to 10 hours of fine masking with tape and razors.
My latest job on my wifes 67 Dart; the car came to us with a 318 not orig so I have went to the custom end, got on ebay and bought white face gadge faces (pvc stickers) you apply to face of gadges no needles are removed, and then I reasembled and went with blue LED light replacements. You ought to see that a night! I even bought blue LED at Advance Auto to put in my white face sun gadges under the dash, they come in a 4 pack, 3 used for gadges and the extra one I mounted on the stering colum behind the automatic gear shift indicator. Looks cool not showing "exact" position of gear but better than taking the steering wheel off to replace the stock bulb. I am just a back yard mechanic and I am totally on the cheep due to being layed off for a while. I sure there are others on this site who have better iseads than mine but I thought I would try to help. Later...
