Cluster Housing Refurb
So I've finally finished up my cluster. It's not near perfect but it cost very little over all and I'm pretty happy with it. I first tried some chrome spray following the procedural advice from the board in what order to paint the different color finishes. Well that was a disaster. So I stripped it again and started over. First I sprayed the black and found it easier to mask the black band around the perimeter and then sprayed the silver. I polished the lenses, cleaned up the circuit board, fixed a couple of broken pins and put her back together. We'll see how it works, but this is mostly cosmetic as I'm going to rely mostly on some aftermarket gauges for real data.
