LowRyter Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 All I can say, I used a red magic marker on the needle when I had the tach apart on the EV. After about 6 years, it's pretty well faded.
Tom M Posted March 25, 2017 Author Posted March 25, 2017 Could we get a long-term-test report? How is the paint holding up? And what kind of paint did you use? The paint has held up really well after five+ years and 18k more miles Scud. I bought the paint at a hobby store but I don't remember who the manufacturer was. It's probably still kicking around my basement so I'll post that info if I can find it. I think the color was "international orange". I found the paint. It was Model Master Enamel # FS12197, and the color was international orange. It does seem to be holding up better than whatever Vague-lia used. 2
swooshdave Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Are new bezels not available? For Smiths they use an elaborate contraption to roll the crimp back on. You can also do it if you have a lathe.
