Ill take the Speedo to work in the morning so I can do a little wet sand and priming. I think Ill do a nice gloss finish on the bezels to set it off the satin finishes Ill be doing.

I think most people would have just found a new bezel but you took the time to fix it. That is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Well with my extra day off, I spent some time sanding and painting and getting a haircut.
The sanding and painting was on some gauge parts.
The dirty old tach ring
And what a little cleaning, light sanding (1000 grit) and cleaning will do. Oh yeah, theres was some painting as well. I picked up a can of Bumper and trim paint from Duplicolor. Made just for this kinda thing.
I also did a little to the bezel of the speedo. Now before I go too much farther, Id like to admit. I used spot puddy to fill the micro dings. I know Ive bad mouthed the stuff and its cousins in the past, but I was in something of a rush and pinhead sized dings were not going to cause me to be farther behind. Ok, with that outta the way,
I sanded the old paint to bare metal, primed with an etching primer (Duplicolor) light dusting for the first coat, let it tack and 3 heavy coats with sanding in between (2000 grit) Once everything was as level and even as I could spend time on, a 400 grit sanding and the last coat. I got one tiny ass spot of orange peel but its only about 1/4" long and on the underside. Im also having to use the old tach ring and drill it for the Odom knob since the only ones Ive found so far are $40+ for a used one. I also discovered that the new to me tach with fuel gauge in it is a wee bit larger that the stock gauges. Im kinda digging that part. But Ill have to modify the bracket to work.
