MUST DO THAT :thumbup: that is about the same look i was gonna go for, and i love the white faces, any sugestions on repairing old guages my oil, temp, and volts doesnt work. and id liek to use the stock ones, but they are very inaccurate. thanks for the tipsFASTBACK340 saidTackle it yourself!
I stripped the factory chrome off, masked & painted the entire dash with semi-flat black spray paint, than masked and sprayed the duplicolor chrome. I had photo-reversed the dash gauges and made new faces (which are NOW commercially availible for $20.... Grrr! ) and trimmed the lower section with faux carbon fiber material. I also replaced the dead factory clock with a VDO quartz unit with the stock gauge face.
Total cost was:
$22 for the VDO gauge
$11 for Castrol Super Clean degreaser which is also an excellant chrome stripper when alowed to soak.
$20 in spray paint
$20 for the roll of carbon fiber from e-Bay
$10 for the Office Max photographing of the dash gauges
And of course, labor, which took me about 2 weeks of lunch hours and sitting in front of the TV polishing dash lenses and details....
Yeah.... I lost the radio. Flowmasters are music too ya know....
