What can you use to clean the black faces of your instruments without causing any fine looking scratches? Looks like a very fine layer of "dust" covers the instrument faces.
Going to paint the red line back on my speedometer face, what do most people use? Was thinking testors red/orange fluorescent.

A good hobby store the sells plastic model paints. [Any one with a tach should not put too much on as it could effect the reading].

NPD has the paint in their current catalog but I haven't used it. Might be a convenient place to buy it if you are ordering something else.

I would recommend sending the gauges out for restoring by a reputable company that deals in this. I used AUTO INSTRUMENTS and they did a nice job. I did have some minor issues with them but they did correct. The black on the gauges are probably faded to a grey from the sun and most likely the speedometer head needs to be rebuilt. AUTO INSTRUMENTS did a great job silk screening the faces. This is a fairly expensive process but it looks very correct.
