Guage cluster restoration
Got some tester florescent orange and some paint brushes from hobby lobby for $4 and repainted the needles and did a light polish on the lens. I think it turned out pretty good.

Re: Guage cluster restoration
Looks good. The needles on our 95 are bleached to a yellowish tint. I thought about trying to repaint them like this.
I tried to paint the needles on the 83 on the gas and speedo, and they were both so brittle they broke off when I touched them with the tiny brush. |
