Well Ive been wanting to paint the trim rings around the gauges for a while now so after seeing Ty do it well I gave it a shot finally.

Prep!


I wanted to do the bases off the needles to but i couldnt get the damn things off I tried a fork and a golf divot fixer and they wouldnt move.

Finished Product, kinda crappy picture but the best I could get with only a cell.


Also painted the Center Bezel and the OHC the same color.
Center Bezel


Forgot to get a pic of the OHC.

All in all im pretty happy with it.

 

Looks great.

 

Looks good

 

thanks guys, wanted something subtle and factory looking.

 

looks pretty good dude! DSG right?

 

ya pretty much DSG. Paint color was called Charcoal Metallic or something like that.

 

To get the needles off spin counter clockwise and pull up gently..that's what ur supposed to do on the newer trucks

 

thats sweet man. makes me wanna redo my stuff DSG! haha

 

Looks nice!

 

ahh i was just trying to pull straight up. ill have to retry when i get a chance.

Im actually kinda glad you did yours first, i was gonna go the same silver as you but decided id go something a lil different.

Thanks!
