Well I had some fun today. I found about 1/2 the lug nuts I need. I also cleaned the dash cluster I received,painted the needles. Also took 2 gear selectors for the dash and made one good one.

Looks like that needle paint will stand out nicely.

It goes on well. I followed the instructions to a T. But I tell ya patience is not my long suit lol. I guess I did about 45 mintues before it was ready to paint.

Is there something I can use to remove the scratches from the lens?

Like from the plastic cluster cover? You'd need to buff it out. I'd use a light rubbing compound and then take it down to buffing. But if patience isn't your thing... lol.

Excellent job on painting the needles Cliff!!!!! really like how you masked out the gauges, what a slick idea :) Guess what I'm going to do next.....
Thanks Roy
The company said to use index cards but I figured the Styrofoam plates work better. Also saved me a little by not having to go buy some.

I got to thinking since I had to buy a can of SEM paint to paint the glove box door I might as well try something to go along with it.
