What I did was take piece of 22 gauge sheet metal, cut it to fit inside the flat part of the gauge panel. I drilled holes for the gauges with hole saws. I painted it with under coat in a spray can so it has a bit of textured look. Then I epoxied it to the the gauge panel. The 22 gauge is thin enough you can't tell do to the raised edge of the gauge panel. I painted the raised edge of the panel semi-gloss silver. I maybe spent about 10 bucks on materials.
