67-72 Electric speedo

This is what I used to spray it. I've had this thing for years, like 15 or so and was suprised the propellant can still worked!



Then mask it off and start spraying. Don't put it on heavy, several light coats will work better than one or two heavy ones.



I unmasked the front to see what it looked like, and if there was enough paint on it.



When you're done painting, wait for it to tack up, but not fully dry. Then take a sharp knife and stick the centers of all the numbers and pull the mask off. If it's completely dry, this will be really hard to do. The paint should be dry enough that it doesn't come off when you touch it, but wet enough so that it will leave a fingerprint in it.





Do all the centers first before pulling the main piece off. Then carefully remove the last part.





Done!



Once it's dry, you can put it in the bezel and put the back tin in and see how it looks. This is where you really start to feel a sense of accomplishment.
