Gauge paint????
I got the F600 gauge cluster for my dash. I took it all apart and I went to clean the gauges with damp paper towel and the white from the numbers started smearing. WTF??? They use water soluble paint for the gauges????

Solution
I went back and used damp Q-tips to remove the smearing. Worked well. Just need to be steady, patient and slow.

Isn't the white paint reflective? Another thing to consider is white face decals. There's a few outfits that will make custom overlays for you. Which bezel did you get? Chrome? Painted? Post some pics once you're done.

Check out my "Cluster Redo " Thread. I got chrome and it is in savable shape !
g.I'm pretty psyched. Not Sure if I'm going to go black or aluminum for the dash face.

That looks sweet Orich. That reminds me, I almost forgot. I also looked into using a carbon fiber wrap. That might look cool??? Wish I could see it mocked up with the aluminum. carbon fiber, and matte black. So I could decide.
