Jason's a good guy. Heres the paint he gave me to paint the inside with. 3547 Tidepool. Years ago I built this to hang in my family room and he helped out. Good luck.

Go to post 25, click on the link. When it opens look in the white area for gauges, click on it. Then start you project. Dennis

Question for a 1964 Cluster -
The bezels are chrome on mine but pitted. When I remove and disassemble it, does the entire face plate need to be re-chromed?

Thanks!

Not if the rings outer edge isn't pitted. Silver paint will cover the rest.

Otherwise I think it's a strip to the pot metal and chrome the whole unit.
