Painting instrument bezel

[sargentrs]

and while we're on the subject, what size gauges fit the small and large holes?

[michael69]

I have all the original gauges that work and in great shape that I am going to use. I bought an aftermarket tach that matches the other gauges that will be used. I will post a picture of it when it is back together and in truck.

Michael, Bezel looks great! I have one question though did you paint the instrument part also or buy it in white? That also look good. Thanks SHU

I posted this here a long time ago but here is my F600.

These are 3 3/8 speedo and tach and 2 1/8 other guages. None of them fit the holes as the originals mount behind the panel. I fit these surface mount and it came out pretty good, but you will be one with a die grinder opening all those holes. Check my photobucket for pics behind and all to see what I did.

I only see 3 generic pictures of your truck when i go to photobucket and search for you - none of the gauges ? - is that correct ?

I used argent silver and gloss black. Was going to paint the FORD letters black,but I have a f600 cluster I am going to swap in so I never did.

Where did you find white background speedo and gauges with black letters?? Interesting I have never noticed one from the factory like yours. Always thought they were all black with white letters.

I didn't use any primer. I just scuffed it up real good with scotch brite.Wiped down with lacquer thinner,sprayed the black.Let it dry for a day and taped the black.Just used new razor blades to trim the excess tape.Then wiped down again with thinner what was not taped and sprayed the silver.

What type of paint/gloss did you use for this it looks good I'm wanting to try this myself

Here is what my son and I did for his truck. Went with white to match the two tone factory paint job. Like mention before, tapeing off is the hard part.
