Repainting Gauge Cluster

It all started when I mentioned that there was a little hitch in the beginning when i start to accelaration. Somebody said that there was too much play on the throttle cable and all i'd have to do was tighten it. Well, when i tried to get to do that, i decided that the engine was too hot and that i didn't want to work over a hot hood. So, i decided to fiddle with the interior of my car.

I have a thing for taking apart stuff and putting it back together. I decided to take apart the door panel but that wouldn't come off. So, I decided to take out the gauge cluster. Wabam! One thing turned into another and i decided to repaint it while it was out. Ha! And here's what I did for the most part...

Two of the three spray paints I used.

Gauge cluster with nothing done to it yet.

After one coat of silver.

A couple more coats now.

Finished one piece.

The other finished piece.

The two pieces side by side.

Putting it back together.
