From my notes when I get around to doing mine:

Disassemble and take pics so you know how it came apart. Post pics if you're a cool guy. Keep them to yourself if you're a psychopathic monster that deserves death. Colors of paint used are Krylon Indoor/Outdoor satin clear for base coat, Krylon Indoor/Outdoor satin jade for inside, outside start with a base coat of Rustoleum High build and sand down the high spots, use SparVar S120 Silver for the chrome areas, and Krylon satin black for the black. Use 3m Adhesive cleaner on the gauges and needles,Florescent Red model car paint to repaint the needle. Clean gauges with glass cleaner and apply vinyl stickers to the gauges to dress up. Poke holes for stop pins, lights, etc in the sticker for the speedometer. Disassemble odo and put vinyl stickers on that too. Reassemble the lights with colored plastic lenses and use clear Avery stickers to re-do the labels like BLINKER, etc. (Just stick over colored plastic you cut. It will show up great). Coat inside of light socket with silver foil tape to really let them POP when they're lit. Use LED lights for gauge cluster for brighter gauges. Clean metal parts with steel wool and clean wires etc with more 3m Adhesive cleaner. Reassemble and enjoy your new cluster.


If I ever get around to doing my interior this is high on my list of things to do. Of course I'll post all the pics and do a step-by-step. My gauges have LEDs already because I had a bulb burn out and just pulled the trigger then, but a total reface would make driving that much more exciting. Good luck! Hope this helps at least a little.
