wrap?

Not sure if this is the correct place to post my odd Idea?

I am in the process of ADDING a tachometer to my 1973 GMC truck. I am adding an aftermarket tack but want it to look factory and place it in the factory fuel (Big) gauge location. Yes I know they make a cheap repop but it only goes to 5000 or 7000 rpm's, and I want 8000 rpm's.

I already have the digital file made of what I thought was the hard part, the DIGITAL tach face. Now I am having trouble finding somebody who will print and install it?

Anybody got some suggestions to print and install my wrap (vector) file over the old fuel gauge?

Below is my mock up of my tach setup

Re: wrap?

Word of warning... it's not cheap..but cant hurt to ask...a single gauge may not be to bad..I used modern gauges in my old dash and they refaced them all to look old , and did some more stuff for me..I'm happy with his work

Re: wrap?

What did you end up doing? Im guessing the original gauges were pad printed. Matching colors with a vinyl digital print will be tough. ill send you a pm with my email for your file. Ill print a few on my roland printer and see what they look like.
