I have some bad overspray black pain on my lens. Does the replacement Lens from someone like LMC come with the speedo numbers and warning light areas already painted on the glass?
The greenish numbers and stuff is printed on the back of the lens. I wet sanded the front of mine starting with 1000 grit and finished with 2500 or 3000 grit, I can't remember exactly. Anyway, to finish, I used polish that is for glass stove tops. I don't know what aftermarket lenses look like, but I bet you can save yours.
