In my perpetual quest for perfect custom gauges, I have removed my cluster - ONCE again - much to the amusement and chagrin of my coworkers. I have FINALLY found the thread outlining the sanding bit but it doesn't exactly specify just how much to sand off the back and with what grit paper. Do you sand down till those white dots are gone? Or just a "surface" touch up because those white dot thingies have yellowed with age and time and that's why my lovley LED-lit cluster lookes like diluted pee?
Thanks! --------------------  |

Haha, you used the word chagrin. That's a word I don't hear enough of. That and cantankerous.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |
