Re: Gauge needle paint

Good eye hugger, that is a factory original lens in the tach dash pic I posted, I can't take the credit for it I pay a fellew member to polish them up for me to use.Lamar is his user name on here and his name as well. He makes them look like glass and says just uses a buffing wheel on a bench grinder with some polishing compund(I don't know what he uses) and says it only takes him about 15-30 minutes to do each one. They are much nicer than the repops, but in direct sunlight there is a few lines that are not very noticable, however the factory lenses seem to be more scratch resistant than the repops, and all of them will have some scratches anyway from normal cleaning of the lens.
