Default White Face Gauges

Just purchased "White Face Gauges" (vinyl overlays) from E-bay. Has anybody tried to apply this type of overlay to the instrument panel gauges before? After I received them, I thought that the large ones (speedo, tach), wouldn,t be to bad to apply. But the small ones might be a little trickier, due to the gauge face being a bit concaved>

You could try a sign shop that does a lot of vinyl work. They could probably fit the faces without wrinkles or bubbles.

They were extremely easy to apply.................... when I got mine, I ordered the small plastic squeegee. Couple drops of dish washing detergent in a small spray bottle.... spray/place/adjust/squeegee...... then wipe the face with a soft cloth and your done !!!

I've had them on for a few years now, love them, make sure you paint the needles a different color if they are white
I had to take them all apart again and paint the needles red.

Default dish soap and dry cloth

Easy to install.
Littl' spray bottle of water mix/dish soap. Have some dry towels handy. Use a little tweezer to slide the piece in the right place.

Cool look !
