Did this in shop class.

Postby 89dudney » Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:28 pm

I pulled apart my gauge cluster, cleaned it, and then began thinking. Quite a few people have white gauge faces, but I haven't ever seen this done so I found another gauge cluster laying around, popped the black piece out. Sanded it with 600 grit, cleaned it, painted it, sanded it again, and then another layer of paint. It looks good in the daytime, but at night, oh boy. The whole gauge cluster is glowing. It looks way cool IMO. https://scontent-a-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 5397_n.jpg

Can you put it back to stock when you sell the truck? I hope so.

Damn, that's rough, Head. :lol:

I think it looks pretty sharp, especially against the wood grain.

Yes I can, its just the black insert that I robbed out of a spare gauge cluster. And thats okay. Opinions are welcome.

I don't think I was that critical. It's something to think about.
