April 2006

The gauges were a major project. The upper gauge faces were seriously faded, with very little color or definition left in the lettering.

The faces were then stripped, and repainted black using PlasticKote Super Enamel Flat Black, which actually dries to a nice satin finish.

Marty and I then applied a frisket film, and using the vector file, laser-cut the new lettering into the frisket. Finally, the faces were painted white using two light coats of white Tamiya model paint. After the gauge cases were cleaned and painted with POR15, the gauges were reassembled.
